About Me

About me

I am a retired law enforcement officer. After retiring as the elected sheriff of our county, I was hired as the Executive Director of the Idaho Sheriffs Association until my second retirement ten years later. .

Now fully retired I enjoy travelling and showing our classic cars throughout the northwest in addition to writing poetry for family and friends.

The main inspiration for my poetry are both the mountain trails I hike and the people I meet along the way.
