After serving as a Military Police Officer in the US Army for 3 years, I went to work for the Department of Veterans Affairs working in law enforcement. I retired in 2013 as Police Chief completing 35 years of government service. I have been Director of two local food pantries, Capital Church Food Pantry for 14 years and now Guilderland for the past 4 years. Serving the community, especially those in need, has become a passion and is one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
