I hold police commisions in two towns in Missouri where I work as a reserve officer when needed.
During these years I have trained many dogs and handlers for narcotic and explosive detection. We have also held successful yearly spring seminars, which have allowed people to come together, share ideas, and solve problems that may have arisen in their working K-9s. I have made great friends along the way and appreciate all the support and knowledge that I have gained.
I am looking forward to the coming years, training more dogs, more handlers and learning more everyday from my various friends and colleagues around the world in the ways of training and handling the challenges of these incredible animals.
