I know some people will look at all the places I have been and think, well why couldn't he had just stayed in Sullivan County Indiana. Well the answer to that is very simple, It was a great place to grow up, I have nothing to trade for the great life I had growing there. Even if my family was poor, we made the best of it we could. The friends I made in high school, the fun I had, the crazy things I done growing up. The small town life is great, but, honestly after high school what else did Sullivan County, Indiana have to offer me, working in some factory, or on a farm, coal mine. And don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with that type of work. I just wanted something different, I wanted to show not only my family, but the people I grow up with, who thought they were better then me and my family that I could do better. And I have, on January 8th, 2005, I
retired as a Health Services Administrator from the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prison, Seagoville Texas at the age of 50. I feel that this very impressive. And I am proud my career and the accomplishments that I have made during career with the Bureau of Prisons. I feel I have left a mark for myself and others that have work with me. I have made a good name for myself and I have earned respect from my peers not only within the prison medical field, but throughout the prison system. I have trained many who have gone on with there careers to better themselfs. Yes, I also made a few mistakes, but I did try to learn from them and made sure I didn’t teach those mistake to others.
When I wrote this BIO, I had 37 days until my retirement and while standing outside on the prison compound, I was confronted by an inmate, who ask me if I was retiring soon. When I told him I was, he stated that he feels comfortable enough to speak for the entire inmate population here at Seagoville and that they all wished me the best and that they appreciated everything that I have done for them and that I will be truly missed. And that he had been at several prisons in his life and I have been the only one who cared that their medical needs to taken care of and that I treated them like a person and not just an inmate. This my friend is what it is all about.
And yes, there were some who didn't like me both inmates and staff. Inamte who don't, are the ones that feel that anyone incharge are assholes. The staff are the ones, I tried hold them accountable the for the job they should have been doing, but weren't during. In life, you should always give at least 100% and never less.
