My wife was killed in a car crash on April 6, 1999.

I was a CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL Officer for 20 years from 1985 to 2005.




To the right is the logo of the California Association of Highway Patrolmen (CAHP). Yes, we do have women in the CHP, but the association is not politically correct enough to change the name.

On June 16th, 1998, I started doing traffic reports in the mornings for the CHP on KGTV - Ch.10 in San Diego. I was usually on Monday-Friday between 11:00am and Noon, and 5:00pm and 6:00pm. When I retired from the CHP, I went to work for KUSI until 2010. On June 7, 2010, I returned to KGTV doing news and traffic from their helocpter, Sky10.

If you have any questions about the CHP, I can be reached at the e-mail address below.


I have written a book on American Indian history. The Dates, Names and "Moons" section of these pages are based on the book. It was published in October 2002.
