Growing up in the Los Angeles area, I’ve always had a desire to work in law enforcement and give back to the community. I am a president of a large moving and storage company. While working my day job, I have also been a Reserve Officer for eight years.

Community service has always been rewarding and it’s fun. I’ve served my country for five years in the United States Navy as a helicopter crewman and rescue swimmer. I’ve volunteered for the past twenty years at a kids summer camp. I also serve on a City of Los Angeles Business Improvement District (BID) committee. I get a lot of satisfaction of helping others and the Reserve program gives me that satisfaction.

Being a Reserve Officer is very exciting. I’ve volunteered my time as a Patrol Officer, in the Bicycle Unit, and just recently I was selected to become a Motorcycle Officer. What sets LAPD apart are the opportunities and the training the Department has to offer.

My family is very important to me. They help me balance my full-time career and my life as a Reserve Officer.

The camaraderie that you get from being a Reserve Police Officer is something that is very special and that you don’t get from the business world. If you want to help make a difference, I encourage you to become a Reserve Officer.
