bio

I have found that at a point in ones life, a person starts to define themselves between two categories; “who they are” and “what they were”.

Who am I? I am a; husband, father, police lieutenant, FBINA graduate, fitness buff, martial artist, hunter, reader, gun nut, conservative, internet surfer.

I was once a; soldier, SWAT operator, rock climber, skydiver and overall adrenaline junkie. As I age I am starting to find that I enjoy talking about some of these topics more than I enjoy doing them anymore. Life has a funny way of sorting out your priorities that way.

I just discovered your blog via the comment you left Joe Manna on Twitter and LE. Would you mind emailing me? I have a new project in the works (not yet ready for prime time) and would like to talk about it with you. Thanks!

I appreciate your blog and writing.
Thank you very much for serving
your/our country.
And I can relate to what you say
about sorting out priorities.
Life can be subtle.
On the other hand, I think I’m
doing more for my overall fitness
and awareness than ever.
Keep up the great work you do and
continue to share your insights.

“The infinite is in the finite of every instant”

Hammock Camping
I’ve recently become one of those Hammock Campers you may (or may not) have seen out in the woods. I was sort of peer pressured into it by my buddy Paul who had been experimenting with them before I had any interest. I had a tent already and I was (ok..maybe “am”) a bit of a tightwad who wasn’t all too interested in spending the money on an entirely new slee […]
2019 Take Two
I managed to get a second trip to the Park in 2019. My friend Paul and his son Matthew accompanied me in August to the Upper Works trailhead with a destination of Colden Dam. I was going to be soloing a few peaks while Paul and Matthew did some exploring around Colden and Avalanche Lakes. We started on a Thursday and arrived at the parking lot around 0930hrs […]

For 2019 my climbing partner and I decided to commit to a full five days in the Adirondacks (vs the two trips we did in 2018). I put together an ambitious 15 peak plan starting with hiking out to the John’s Brook Lodge on Monday then summiting Big Slide Mountain. Tuesday’s plan was to traverse the entire Great Range. Wednesday we would hike out and go do Cas […]
"Don't Rape" training
“Don’t Rape” trainingMarc MacYoung has an interesting post on his blog from back in 2012: http://macyoungsmusings.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html …as usual, its blunt and controversial but contains a core of truth. The current climate surrounding “rape education” does seem to focus on trying to “train men” not to rape vs teaching women risk reduction be […]
To Protect and Serve
To Protect and Serve“Protect and Serve” was a motto devised by the LAPD in the 50’s, it was never really intended to be used as THE definition for the role of police in society. While I would like to protect everyone and everything from harm that’s simply not possible and while I do provide a public “service” I’m no individual persons “servant” I am a Public […]

martial art or art form? I find Kyudo an interesting art and an interesting subject for discussion of the term “martial art”.
than to remove all doubt: entrapment
than to remove all doubt: entrapmentI hear this all the time. That’s entrapment! You cant to that..that’s entrapment. I’ll have your job, that’s entrapment. I’ll be on the street tomorrow, that’s entrapment. While the last one may be true, it probably wont be because you were entrapped by the Police. Every State has different definitions and Laws, but in gen […]
than to speak and remove all doubt: would I lie to you?
than to speak and remove all doubt: would I lie to you?Yup. Specifically I am talking about the fairly common Myth that if you ask an undercover cop if he/she is a cop that he/she HAS to tell you. I don’t know where this myth originated but I see it all the time, almost ALWAYS in prostitution investigations. I wonder if it’s just “talismanic thinking”? In re […]
than to speak and to remove all doubt: Miranda Warnings
than to speak and to remove all doubt: Miranda WarningsYou didn’t read me my rights!=I’m clueless about criminal procedure and really think that this means my arrest is invalid and you have to let me go. If I had a dime for every time I heard it…..you need custody AND interrogation to require Miranda. That means Miranda only matters if I have arrested or det […]
The state of affairs
The state of affairsWell. After a little hiatus I’ve decided to start writing again. We will see how long it lasts. One of the last drafts I typed as over two years ago and you can read it below. Sadly, much of what I was trying to express in 2016 is still in play in early 2019. Alright. This may be long and I don’t know if anyone is going to bother reading […]
