About RJ
My full-time "day job" is in law enforcement. I first started as a police officer back in 1999. Like most cops, I started on patrol and have worked up the ranks in a variety of positions.
​
For most of my career, I have been one of our department's evidence technicians. Some places call the job crime scene investigator or CSI.
​
In addition to police work, I spent some time as a firefighter. As someone with both a fire and police background I find myself being the local de facto fire/arson investigator.
Most folks would say CrossFit and books are my two primary hobbies. My enthusiasm for fitness has led me to get various coaching and personal training certifications. I don't have a regular coaching schedule but do train some people once in a blue moon.
​
Public Safety is a passion for me. If there is anything I can do to help you write better stories about crime and the people working police, fire, and EMS please ask, I love helping authors!
