Joseph M's Story

Life I was born at Saint Ann's Catholic Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. I grew up in Granville, Ohio and Rockledge, Florida. I now live in Mansfield, Ohio with my wife Kimberly. I am an active member of Saint Peter's Catholic Church, the Knights of Columbus, and the Cub Scouts. I am a graduate of the Ontario High School, the Ohio State University, the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy, and the United States Army Military Police School. I worked for the State of Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction for twenty-five and a half years. School My family moved back to Ohio from Rockledge, Florida in 1976 near the end of my sophomore year in high school. Staying with my cousin, I attended Shelby Senior High School the last couple weeks of my sophomore year. That summer my family purchased a house in Ontario and I attended Ontario High School my junior and senior years, graduating in June 1978. While in high school, I was active with the french club, choir, cross country, wrestling, and track. Some may remember my semi-successful campaign to allow students the opporunity to voluntarily recite the Pledge of Allegiance during a less patriotic era, which contributed to my winning the "I Dare You" award. My senior class voted me the "Most Ambicious Male" but I never considered myself to be paticularly ambicious! After high school, I moved on to college, which I will discuss under the subject heading college. College I attended the Ohio State University from 1978 to 1983, graduating with a Bachelor of Art...Expand for more
s degree with a double-major in Criminology & Criminal Justice and Political Science. While in college, I supported myself by working for various companies and places of business as a public and private armed and unarmed security guard, security sergeant, security lieutenant, security captain, store detective, police dispatcher, and police officer. While in college I also enjoyed campus life and extracurricular activities, including bicycling, camping, square dancing, and belonging to political and religious groups and organizations. Workplace In October 2009 I was illegally terminated from my long held position as correction lieutenant at the Mansfield Correctional Institution (ManCI) for being a whistleblower in violation of Ohio's Whistleblower Protection Act. My wrongful removal is currently under appeal. Having a 100% appeal success rate (and there have been many over the years), I am fairly comfortable with my appeal prospects. I began my tenure with the State of Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODR&C) in May 1984 as a correction officer at the former Ohio State Reformatory (OSR), transferring to the then new neighboring ManCI in December 1990 upon OSR's court-ordered closure. I promoted to the position of correction sergeant in June 1997 and to correction lieutenant in January 1998. Prior to working for the ODR&C, I worked my way through college as a security guard, security sergeant, security lieutenant, security captain, store detective, police dispatcher, and police officer.
