I was born in Norwich, Connecticut, on May 11, 1948. I attended Griswold High School, in Jewett City, Connecticut. I am married to my wife Donna for over 30 years and a father of two. Judy , our daughter, resides in Connecticut and Shane, our son, resides in Florida. For twelve years I worked as a police officer for the City of Norwich in Connecticut. I recently retired from the position of Coordinator and consultant of Safety at a hospital in Connecticut. I have relocating to Ocala, Florida, in 2008 where my wife and I curently reside. After being diagnosed with cancer in 2004 and Parkinson's Disease in 2005 I had to take a disability retirement.
