He was stationed in Pearl Harbor seeing service in Vietnam and many cold war submarine patrols. I retired with 22 years military service then worked in radio and TV prior to joining the Honolulu Police Department where he retired again in 1999. In retirement, I design and host website and the author of 1920, Shots Fired, Officer Down, The Patchwork Mystery and Lucky Seven Goes Hawaiian. I am also a FAA certified commercial drone pilot.
