Thanksgiving
This is the time of year that we give thanks for the many things in life that we’re blessed with. I feel that the sentiment of Thanksgiving should be expressed daily. During this Thanksgiving season, I want to take the time to acknowledge the many people that positively impacted my life in so many ways.Continue reading “Thanksgiving”
Family Unit
It’s Saturday morning (10:44 am), and as I sit here and reflect, family comes to mind. I think about my mother and the fact that she’s looking down from heaven smiling. She’s smiling because of the family values she passed on to my siblings and me. Our mother often told us that family was allContinue reading “Family Unit”
Understanding Sentencing
Others say and I have often said ” what happens in the past should stay in the past”. However, this belief has a different meaning in the criminal justice system when it comes to sentencing.

I have worked as an investigator for the past 35 years and found that a very large percentage of people that are arrested get arrested during traffic stops. The issue is that law enforcement only needs REASONABLE SUSPICION that a traffic infraction occurred. What thisContinue reading “Traffic Stops”
Togetherness Matters
Various groups, cultures, organizations have proven that unity translates into positive results. There’s a saying in sports called” teamwork” and teams that work together win. There is no difference (in working together) towards improving one’s social or economic position in life or working together in a sports team. In marriage when spouses understand what theyContinue reading “Togetherness Matters”
