I'm a retired USAF Major, Police Chief and Associate Professor. During my career I've lived and worked in Europe (Spain, England & Germany x 2) for ten years of my 20 in the USAF. I've taught management, law enforcement, and government (US & Tex) and martial arts for self-defense. I'm a native of Indiana and speak Spanish and conversational German. I'm an author and cancer survivor, as well as a lifelong martial artist (64 yrs). I've also traveled in some of the pacific countries (Korea, Okinawa & the Philippines) and served a month in Saudi Arabia. This broad base gives me a great deal of knowledge and understanding about other cultures and their customs.
