I served in Vietnam from 1967 to 1969. I had the privileged to have served as a grunt with the 196th Light Infantry Brigade, the 199th Light Infantry Brigade and as a door gunner with the 101st Airborne Division. When I returned from Vietnam I became a Drill Sergeant, training troops for service in Vietnam. Later, I served 32 years in law enforcement and retired out as Chief of Police in Paradise, California. I know live in Sparks, Nevada with my wife Tammy. I have been blessed with two children, who have blessed me with five grandchildren and my two step children, who have blessed me with two more grandchildren.
