My early years were formed around friends at Faye Lane Elementry, Lampson Jr. High, Northwest Little League and the Boys Club.

I retired after 33 years. My last 8 years were as Police Chief for the cities of Los Alamitos then Gardena. I also worked for the cities of Orange, Azusa and Manhattan Beach. Those were the fun years of my life. I have many memories, some very sad, some very funny bust most with a feeling of pride in the contrabution I made to our society.
My wife K.C. and I live in San Pedro, 6 minutes from the Trump National Golf Course, where I work as a Marshall / Starter, for fun and a opportunity to play golf at a great course. My son Chris is a Police Officer in Santa Monica and a bachlor. My daughter Kimberly is in the Big Apple with her hubbie Ray, an NYPD Gang Detective. There hands are full with 1 year old Gabriella.
Life is good. I look forward to seeing old friends out there as my years in GG were the best years of my life. I hope we will have a grand renunion someday. Please call me at 310 832-5065 or cell 310 619=9200.
