Redoubt

Veteran U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sergeant, and retired Police Officer, and Detective, who worked for three diverse law enforcement agencies; including the NYPD, where I served in all Boroughs of New York City, except Staten Island.  Was selected to join the Tactical Patrol Unit; formerly the TPF (Tactical Patrol Force).  TPU would be assigned to have individual uniformed members walk alone within the most high-crime precincts of New York City to suppress violent street crimes during late night tours.  

Father of two, and very blessed grandfather of five precious children.  I've been known to be a "Mr. Mom" kind of father.

A Freemason, and member of multiple other not-for-profit organizations; law enforcement organizations; and military veterans' and patriotic organizations, which are dedicated to helping others and upholding the Constitution of the United States of America.

A man who has been dedicated to serving and helping good people in need; while ever alert to hunting those who would prey upon them.  

Actively sought to identify and publicly expose nefarious individuals who fraudulently claim to be honorable military veterans.

Born to an English father, and beautiful American mother, I grew up on Long Island, New York, at a time when the world was rapidly renewing after WW II.  

From a very early age I was imbued by my father with different perspectives of the world, and its history.  Certainly these differing concepts were well beyond what my peers were apparently taught in U.S. schools.  He also taught me valuable facts and the importance of military service to help protect freedoms and liberties; while stamping out totalitarianism.

Since early childhood I developed a keen fascination for military history, anthropology, and for discovering and studying other cultures and religions.  Also, I began to collect military artifacts primarily from those enemies we fought during major wars. 

After having visited Thailand on three occasions since 2011, I have decided to spend the rest of my life primarily within the traditional Buddhist Isaan Region, of this beautiful Kingdom of Siam; who's Culture and People are so very pleasing to be among.

The personal joy acquired through helping them in multiple ways is priceless to me.
