À propos de ce contenu audio

Welcome to The Gray, a place with multiple meanings in my life these days. This rest stop is one where current and retired law enforcement and first responders can kick off their boots and listen to my stories, get my take on law enforcement and the state of the world today, and give suggestions on future episodes and topics. I am a retired Kentucky State Police Master Trooper with 24 1/2 years of experience working as a road Trooper, Accident Reconstructionist, Defensive Tactics and ASP Instructor, and Dignitary Protection for two Governors. I retired with no intention of returning to police work, but a chance encounter with the sheriff in my county led me to take a School Resource Officer position in 2023 in an elementary school shortly after the Uvalde and Nashville tragedies.

I also enjoy talking about the world I grew up in as a Gen-Xer born in 1969. I grew up in the '70s and '80s, when the music and movies of those decades set the bar that has not been surpassed since. I have many stories from family vacations and holiday shenanigans that would rival National Lampoon's. I also share a perspective of growing up in the Appalachian mountains of Southeastern KY, where my Pops was a coal miner for 20 years. I even wrote a fiction book called The Last Mine that featured a character (Dale) modeled after my dad.

Pull up a chair, as I would love for everyone who needs some therapy or just a place to listen and laugh to find their way here. I am also a die-hard fan of the Steelers, Pirates, and Pens, but I love sports talk in general.

    A report of illegal plants leads a Trooper to a quiet home and an upset father. But as the investigation unfolds, the line between police work and a waking dream begins to blur. What do you do when the person you’re supposed to question doesn't exist?

    Welcome to the front seat of a gray cruiser in Appalachia. A Gen-X retired KY Trooper sharing the raw, harrowing, and occasionally hilarious stories that stay with you long after the sirens stop. No fancy studio—just real calls, life lessons from the ridges, and the occasional guest bark from my Goldendoodle pup, Trooper.

    Pull up a chair and stay a while.

    A routine crash call turns into something far more difficult when a father makes an unthinkable request.
