"I attended a training session at my local church. I was given an opportunity to practice what was taught as well. I would recommend this training for everyone. Eye opening, confidence boosting, and taught by very knowledgeable and experienced individuals!" - Donald, St. Johns,MI

Epic #Flyfishing with Campbell Outfitters in West Michigan, I caught my very first ever Pike, 27" long, and it took my about 4 minutes to carefully land him! – at Allendale, MI

Dealing with an inappropriate person at #church can be uncomfortable and even frustrating, but there are ways to mitigate it and be able to effectively distract and de-escalate! – at North Byron, MI

It's what we call "oh-dark-thirty" and I'm on the move! I used TSA Pre✓ for the first time and it was awesome, slowed down only enough to put my carry-on into a bin! (Then again, there was hardly anyone else here at the airport in the first place! 🤣) – at Forest Hills, MI

At the August 1st @wmwhitecaps game on Grand Rapids,MI! – at Allendale, MI

A colleague was ambushed and murdered by a wife-beating loser on July 8, 2007. I wasn't working that night, and I had worked with Koz only a few times and didn't really know him very well as we were assigned to different areas of the city. Forever remembered. – at Bauer, MI

Wow, just realized that 3 days ago marked the 10th anniversary of my final shift on patrol before "retiring". 10 years... And look at me now, this certainly isn't what I thought I would be doing, I was intent on being a charter pilot!
