Joe's Story

After High School I moved to Phoenix AZ. and worked on my Grandfathers Gold Mine. About 6 months later I decided to move back to Toledo. I met my first wife and like a dumb ass I married her. Everyone told me not to do it, but did I listen...NOOOOOOOOOOOO. Shortly after we were married we had our first child, my son, Andrew. I was working as an Assistant Manager for Instant Oil Change at the time. Man I was hating life at that time. Besides my son, this was one of the lowest times of my life. After about a year of this crap I deciced to Join the Navy. I knew that if I was going to get anywhere and provided well for my son I had to do something. It was at this time that I had figured out that I wanted to be a Police Officer. This was one of the reasons I joined the Navy. I volunteered for E.O.D. which is basically a Bomb Squad. I knew this training would set me apart from most applicants. About 6 months later, and after I completed Boot Camp, I was discharged when the first President George Bush decided to down size the military. So I went home. 10 months later we had our second child, Kaitlyne. I never wanted a girl until she was born. I didn't realize I could Love anyone as much as I loved my kids, both of them, but Daddies L...Expand for more
ittle Girl is different. During this time I tried my hand at construction. I left for work when it was dark and came home when it was dark. I just missed my kids. 2 yrs later our third Daugher, Erin, was born. I realized at this time that as a father, I didn't love any one of my kids more than the other, I just loved each one differently. Shortly after Erin was born, I got my job at the Lucas County Sheriff's Office. My life hasn't been the same since. A job like this can and does change how one sees things. When Erin turned about 5 yrs old I had had enough of my wifes crap. I divorced her. At the time it was the hardest thing I had ever done and it cost me a small fortune, but you can't put a price on sanity. About 3 yrs after I was divorced I met my current wife and after a 3 yr courtship we were married. I think this ones a keeper. We have been married now for about 5 yrs. During our marriage we have been to Cairo Egypt 3 times. Yeah she's Egyptian. I plan on retiring in about 8 yrs, or so, and when I do I plan on moving to Egypt during the Winter months and coming to Toledo in the Summer. One thing I know for sure, I have traveled all over this Earth, and for all it's faults Toledo is and will remaine Home to me.
