I have been a law enforcement officer for approximately 25 years and my primary role has focused upon criminal investigations, forensics and training new investigators for approximately 20 years. I specialize and instruct crime scene investigators in the investigative approach and management of crime scenes. I have been recognized as a forensic expert with bloodstain pattern analysis. In addition to my employment with the LaPorte County Sheriff’s Office, I am an adjunct instructor with the National Forensic Academy at the University of Tennessee where I teach Crime Scene Investigators the investigative approach and collections of entomological evidence. My primary hobby is music and have played drums and percussion for approximately 25 years. Most importantly, I have been married for approximately 23 years and have three children. Thank you.
