Police Detective with the Galveston Police Department. I worked Patrol for 6 years and transfered to the Identificatio Division (CSI).  Before that I was a Deputy Sheriff in Galveston County from 1998 to 2005. Learned to doodle with Microsoft Paint there. I Got a digital camera and carried it with me like a security blanket, but it's old and retired now. Now I have a Department issued Nikon D-90. It's like taking everyone with me wherever I go. I had a picture of me with one of my pet Dragons, Othello, on my shoulder. I have since divorced and she took the Dragons with her. Othello and Luna have both passed on, but you can still find them in my gallery.BIOI'm a BOI (Born On Island) from Galveston,Texas. I was raised here until 1984 when I went to the Marine Military Academy in Harlingen, Tx. I graduated from there in 1990. Worked as a cashier and sacker at Fiesta Mart #16 on NASA Rd 1 and I45 until I joined the Navy on February 20th 1991. I served in the Balistic Missle Submarine Fleet on the USS Francis Scott Key SSBN 657 where I learned to navigate as a Quartermaster. I then transfered to the America Battle Group on board the USS Groton SSN 694. I was released from the Service in February 1995 and returned to civilian life as bookseller at Barnes and Noble in Naples, Florida, where I met my wife, Jennifer. Then we moved to Sabastian, Florida where I was unemployed for several months before returning to Texas to attend the Police Academy at the University of Houston-Downtown. I graduated in November 1997. I was hired by the Galveston County Sheriff's Department under Sheriff Joe Max Taylor in February of 1998. I joined the SORT (Special Operations Reaction Team) in the Summer of 1998. Sheriff Taylor retired in 2000 and Gene Leonard was elected as Sheriff. He renamed the Sheriff's Department to Sheriff's Office (I guess that saved on ink). I worked in the County Jail longer then I have had any other job, six years and eleven months. During which time my wife left for Florida in April, 2003. The Sheriff's Office paid me ok for sitting around babysitting a bunch of inmates. I was hired by the Galveston Police Department (they're going to waste alot of ink), and started on January 10th, 2005. I had 8 weeks of Bootcamp there and made a few updates my gallery with Academy stories. I graduated on March 4th, 2005 and my first night on the Field Training Officer Program was March 6th. In June, 2011, I transfered to Major Crimes ID (CSI). Ok....I've decided that other people have more stuff about their hobbies and interests, so I'm going to add that stuff here. I love Warhammer 40K and other Science Fiction francises, and Anime. I like Renaisance Faires (especially the Texas Ren Faire near Houston. I hope to one day own my own medieval harness. I like kayaking and mild (as opposed to extreme) camping. Just go out there with a tent and barbeque for a day or two then go home and take a shower. I also have a long love affair with philosophy and mysticism especially Judaic Kabbala, Christian Gnosticism and Freemasonry. I have also been exposed to a bit of Confusionism, Buhdism, and a tad of Shinto. In my Gallery you will find: Poetry (Including a couple of Haikus) Short Stories MS Paint Pics (mostly Warhammer 40K stuff) Photographs of: Landscapes Birds Dogs Prison and Jail (some graphic some not) My Sister and her Unit in Iraq Police Beat Stories. I've neglected this site and my Gallery for too long and will soon post new stuff.

Shitty little minds that think shitty little thoughts are afraid to simply walk into a random gym and pick up a random weight and flex it. Not some pattern of their own insularity but a real random selection. Meeting standards of sample. Then they won't die in a hail of their own condecension.

Good luck in your training. It takes a special person these days to work in law enforcement of any kind. Far too many crazeeees out there.
