I am a former police officer, field training officer, police detective, and K9 (police bloodhounds and cadaver dogs) trainer turned pet detective. During my seventeen-year career as a search dog handler, my search dogs and I located physical evidence, missing people, and criminals. In 1996, my bloodhound A.J. escaped from his yard and was missing. I brought in another search dog that I used to successfully track down A.J. This is what sparked the idea, "Why not train dogs to track lost pets?" In our first four searches, my search dog Rachel physically located two lost cats and one lost dog! I'm the author of "PET TRACKER: The Amazing Story of Rachel the K-9 Pet Detective" (available exclusively on Amazon.com as eBook and softcover) and "DOG DETECTIVES: Train Your Dog to Find Lost Pets". The "Pet Tracker" book is a revision of my first book, "The Lost Pet Chronicles," which went out of print in 2012. I operate the first-ever Pet Detective Academy where I train professional pet detectives. I also offer "Life Purpose" presentations for teens and adults looking to find their God-given life purpose.
