2. My career in public service began in 1974, while a senior in high school, by becoming an
Emergency Medical Technician and working for a first response private ambulance company. In
April of 1976 I became an auxiliary police officer with the Macedonia (Ohio) Police Department.
In March of 1977 I became a sworn police officer with that same department. In January of 1982 I
was hired by the Sagamore Hills (Ohio) Police Department. Both Macedonia and Sagamore Hills
are communities, in suburban Cleveland, Ohio.
In October of 1982 I became a police officer with the Greenacres City Police Department in Palm
Beach County, Florida.
In 1985 the Greenacres City Police and Fire Rescue Departments consolidated into the Greenacres
Public Safety Department. I was among the first group to cross train and become duel certified as
a police officer and firefighter, a public safety officer.
In 1986 I became an Emergency Medical Technician, making me triple certified.
During the years to follow I supervised or commanded the Uniform Patrol Unit; the Criminal
Investigations Unit; the Organized Crime, Vice and Narcotics Unit; the Community Orientated
Policing Unit; the Training Unit; the Support Services Unit; the PSAP; and the Administration
Bureau.
I have been promoted through the ranks of patrolman, detective, sergeant, training coordinator,
lieutenant, captain, and retired as the assistant director in 2010. At the time of my retirement, the
Greenacres Public Safety Department employed 103 full time employees.
I am also a coauthor of the City’s Emergency Management, Continuity of Operations (Coop), and

In 2010 I was hired by the Palm Beach County Division of Emergency Management as the 9-1-1
Planning Coordinator. My primary responsibility was the project manager for the implementation
of the Next Generation capable 9-1-1 system. Palm Beach County consisted of 18 primary Public
Safety Answering Points (PSAPs), 1 secondary PSAP and 2 backup PSAPs, employing
approximately 480 Telecommunicators. I also managed the day-to-day operations of the existing
9-1-1 system. In September of 2012 I was promoted to Emergency Program Coordinator,
responsible for the 9-1-1 operations as well as additional Emergency Management functions.
From 2010 to 2012 I was the Palm Beach County, Division of Emergency Management Resource
