Happy Birthday Papa

Today is my dad's birthday! I am so thankful for him and what he has taught me about life. My dad has always pushed me to be my best, love with all my heart, wear my emotions on my sleeve, talk loud, laugh hard, be kind, be accountable and enjoy life. My dad is one of the most daring people I know. He has taught me to always try new things and "go out on a limb." I am always proud to talk about my dad's life, his experiences, and his job.

I mean, come on, how many detectives do you know who:
1) are snipers
2) have trained cop dogs
3) have hitch hiked from Wisconsin the California
4) have been a member of a water skiing act
5) have driven demolition derby cars
6) have driven semi trucks
7) have hiked the Inca trail
8) was called "Evil Ernie" back in the day
9) who have popped wheeling on a motorcycle in font of the principal's office at his high school
10) and I'm sure there are several other stories that I haven't heard...

I love my dad so much.


Happy Birthday Papa!
