More About Me

I was born and raised in Muncie, Indiana. For those of you who either do or have home canned, Muncie is the Home of the Ball Jar. I majored in Radio & Television (Communications) and minored in Business Administration at Ball State University. Oh, and by the way, I was born at Ball Memorial Hospital. Remember, Ball Jars.

This coming September will be my 5-year retirement anniversary from the Federal Government. At retirement, I had just a little over 35years with Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Most of my career with the Bureau was working in Forensics as a Senior Forensic Examiner.

Some of the high-profile cases I worked included the first World Trade Center Bombing (1993); Waco (1993); The Unabomber (1995); Oklahoma City Bombing (1995); Waco Project (1999); Centennial Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta (1996); Beltway Snipers (2002); Islamic State beheading occurrences (2014); and the 9/11 investigation. At the end of my career, I was working predominantly counter-terrorism cases.

My wife, Eileen, and I moved to Manassas in July of 2007. Since moving here we have become what I affectionately call Homers. We love and support the City of Manassas. I started my volunteerism in 2009.
