I have held different positions with law enforcement agencies in Van Zandt County, Texas. I began my law enforcement career in 1975 at Grand Saline Police Department. After four years with Grand Saline and attaining the position of Asst. Chief, I left and went to work for Sheriff Travis Shafer, Sheriff of Van Zandt County. Two years later I became Chief Deputy and remained there until 1986 when I left to help Betty with her business and to do some Private Investigation for some attorneys in Canton. I returned to the Van Zandt County Sheriff's Department as Chief Deputy to Sheriff Pat Jordan December 31, 1988. In December of 1991 I was offered the position of Chief Investigator for the Van Zandt County District Attorney's Office. I worked for John A. Sickle, Criminal District Attorney, and Jeff White, Asst. District Attorney. In 1994, the newly appointed District Attorney replaced the entire staff of the Dstrict Attorney's office. At that time, Doug Pool, another former DA investigator and I went back in to Private Investigation. I maintained my peace officer's certification for several years after I left the Criminal District Attorney's Office. When I stopped my training, I had attained my master TECLOSE officer. I also offered Concealed Handgun License Courses for over 15 years, in a "class" room that once was our 2 car carport. The Miller-Pool Firing Range is also on my property that offered both the classroom instruction as well as the proficiency training.
