I have 14 years of Law Enforcement experience. I spent 3 years as a Park Ranger with the Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation Department. I have now been with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department for over 11 years.

8 years on bike patrol 

I have been a LEBA member since 1998. 

I have been a LEBA Instructor since 2001. 

I have been a LEBA master Instructor since 2004. 

I borrowed my quote from Vince Lombardi, but it I truly believe that they are words to live by. “It’s not whether you get knocked down; it’s whether you get up.”

General Colin Powell also said it well when he said:

“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.” 

Favorite place to ride: Beach Springs Mt. Bike Trails (AKA- Poplar Tent), Concord, NC. Tsali, NC ain’t bad either… the views are fantastic. 

Favorite web site: I am not a big internet freak, but if I had to pick one… www.break.com . They have some great bike crashes.
