- 54 years old
- Began training at age 13 in martial arts - has kept training since.
- Author of book: Red Badge -- A Veteran Peace Officer's Commentary on The Marxist Subversion of American Law Enforcement & Culture.
- "In the beginning, I did not believe in weight training. I did push ups, sit ups, pull ups, lunges and running. When I decided to apply to be a police officer at age 19, I added weights to my routine because I saw the benefit of size for command presence and adding more strength to my incredible endurance I had at the time. I seldom miss a workout. I will go to the gym at midnight if necessary to get it in or at least do a routine at home; i.e. push ups, pull ups, sit ups, lunges and run or bike. Staying fit enhances every aspect of my life. Discipline is something you pay in advance for a later return. That is what a fit lifestyle is all about for me."
