Q: When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? A: A policeman. My grandfather was an officer with the Amarillo Police Department and he walked a foot beat his entire career. I remember sitting in his lap as a child while he told stories. Q: How did you get into your field? A: Before retiring from the Parker County Sheriff’s Officer, Patty and I wanted something to do after retirement that would allow us to spend time with our family while still worki ng. Owning our own business has allowed us to do that, along with giving back to the community. We have always said since buying AA Wrecker Service that our goal was to change the public perception of the towing industry in our world. Our goal is to offer an affordable service along with professionalism and courteous customer service. Along with our employees, we strive to meet these expectations daily.

Q: What person from history would you most like to have lunch with? A: Whoever was ultimately responsible for allowing Jesus and the Bible to be taken out of our schools? Q: If someone asked you for your best piece of advice, what would you say? A: Loyalty above all else but also honor. Be loyal to yourself, family and your job. But never jeopardize your honor for anyone or anything. Q: What would you most like to be remembered for? A: My Word, to my family, friends and profession. My father raised all us kids with protecting your word. He always said that we come into this world with nothing but our word, and it does not matter what you do or accomplish in your life, your WORD is the only thing God will let you take with you when you leave, unless you throw it away. He said when you shake another man’s hand and give your word, you do everything you can to keep your word!

Why? A: Law Enforcement is not everyone’s calling. But, if you do have that calling and choose to follow it, you will not be disappointed. Striving to make a difference in society and people’s lives even in the smallest of ways is a very fulfilling journey. The job can be very emotional. You can have empathy and compassion for other people and their situations and still be firm and fair in the decisions you make that affect them. Being one that helps bring justice to victims of minor to horrendous crimes is a task that involves endless hours of work. You can be the one that shows someone the error of their ways and how their choices affect so many others, not just themselves. Some will take it to heart and change for the better and those moments complete a law enforcement officer’s goal. 69
