After graduation from Wakefield, I worked for three years and then attended Appalachian State University (ASU) and graduated in 1970. While at ASU, I joined the USMC Platoon Leader's Class program and went to Officer Candidate School at Quantico, VA during the summer between school years. Upon graduation I was commissioned a 2nd Lt. and went to Navy flight school eventually becoming a USMC helicopter pilot. I stayed in the reserves and retired as a colonel. I completed 6 years active duty and tried my hand in the private sector for four years before joining the FBI in 1979. I spent 22 years in the FBI, 16 in the Philadelphia Field Division working organized crime and drugs and then 6 years at Quantico, VA with the FBI's Critical Incident Response Group.
