I joined the San Leandro Police Department in 1970 and was assigned to the patrol division. Over the next 29 years I worked in the patrol division, the robbery, homicide, forgery and vice units of the investigation division and the administrative services division.  I was promoted to Sergeant in 1985 and to Lieutenant in 1994.  I retired as a Patrol Lieutenant in 1999.

After retiring, I obtained my Real Estate license and worked as a Residential Real Estate agent in the San Leandro/Oakland area for the next 4 years.  I have been married to my wife Adrienne since 1968 and we now live in Roseville where we enjoy golf, biking, traveling and volunteering our time with a number of organizations.

I have been a member of RPOAC since 2005.
