A Journey of Faith and Redemption 0:00 Your department is funding your habit. What do you think is gonna happen after 10 years? You go to the bar, and especially when you're young, you're young, like,0:12 liquid courage, now it made me loosen my tongue. It made it easier to talk to to people that I didn't even know, just engage them in conversation. That's what the drinking did.0:25 And so I used it as a crutch. That became the thing that I used for my courage. Because of those lost 10 years, I thought my career was was0:37 over. My career as an enforcement officer was0:47 done.1:09 A1:25 Couple of years ago, I was out here in the beautiful state of Texas, my second favorite state in America, second only to the free state of Florida Amen. Where we're from.1:34 That's right.1:35 Had an opportunity to meet this guy through a mutual friend of ours, a SWAT leader. And we met on a gun range, which is how all great stories start. For sure. And,1:47 within about 7 seconds of meeting you, I felt like we were long lost brothers. It was a very bizarre I mean, listen. You know how I am. I don't really like people. Bizarre?1:59 Thanks, Greg. I just don't, I don't trust people right away. I don't like probably 80 percent of people that I meet, and yet this dude, I just loved him right away.2:09 Yeah.2:09 And I was I was praying that 1 day we'd be able to tell his story. And today is that day. So first, why don't you tell everyone who you are?2:18 My name is Greg. I am the 1 of the cohosts of Sheepdog and Shepherd and, pastor at the church of 11 22 where I lead a first responder ministry. I'm a chaplain with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office and the FDLE.2:29 The whole point of this series that we have on gray dot com is to tell the stories of how our heavenly father has impacted those in the law enforcement community. Eustace, man, where do we begin?2:41 Who are you, brother?2:42 My name is Eustace. Third year veteran of law enforcement, 20 years in narcotics as an undercover operator. Been a very long journey.2:55 As a as a child, my mom, we were we were raised Catholic, and that in itself was was something that I didn't really understand as a child. When you're a kid, you3:07 don't really understand the ideology behind religions. You're just a kid. As I grew up, I became, yes, an altar boy, believe it or not. Spent a little time doing that. Still never really understood3:19 anything about that. Mostly, it was me and my brother, and we would fight about who got to ring the bell during service. That was the big that was the big part of the service. Who got to ring the bell? Sometimes he3:29 would, sometimes I would. My my my older brother was a little more wild than I was, and he was more adventurous back then, and he was 1 of those guys who would snoop around in the back and find sacrificial wine and3:40 sample it. And I'm like, I don't think we're supposed to be doing that. Well, we didn't last very long doing that, you know, so we we moved on.3:52 Through the years, my it was my mom that that came to the realization of truth. She started seeking truth about the most high and about Yahusha,4:04 the Messiah, and brought that to her family. And it had everything to do with with biblical truth and what was acceptable and what was unacceptable. What we did as a family, what we4:16 celebrated as a family that was that was deemed biblically, an abomination that our family was actively involved in. So when my mom, you know, brought this to the family4:28 and explained to our family, okay, biblical text is certain things are prohibited, and we're supposed to follow the laws and rules of the most high that he sat down before us in biblical text. We thought she was nuts.4:38 Like, what do you mean, mom? We've we've we've followed this these things, our entire life. And now all of a sudden, you're you're gonna you're saying that it's it's wrong. And so4:52 her sons because she had 6 sons. There was 6 of us, 6 boys, and 4 girls from a very large family. So when you have that kind of a of a a group of people together that that have been5:04 involved in something their entire life and then somebody coming in time, we're changing this. It's all wrong. Well, her and my dad had conflict over that because my dad was a very strong personality also, and he goes,5:15 well, this is what we've always thought. This is what we believed in what this is what we've taught our children. And so we're gonna continue on this path. My mom goes, oh, I can't allow that because it's for the for5:26 the future of my children and to make sure that they're saved. I'm not letting this go. And she didn't. As years passed, her prayers5:39 and her influence, eventually took hold, took root, and all of her sons became saved. My dad also5:52 understood and accepted and became saved. They obviously were, rehabilitated Catholics. They are not believers of the most high followers of the word. And that's where I got my6:04 the beginning of my belief system. Fast forward, I was pretty much an athlete in high school. So right as I got out of high school, I went looking for a for for a6:15 job, obviously, a career type of work. So I went to the recruiters, and that's where I I ended up doing some, some military time. I did 6 years with the armed reserve.6:27 But when I signed up initially, I went to the marine corps office, and the the marine guy wasn't there, but the army guy was standing there. And he goes, hey, son. Let me let me talk to you. It's like, okay. So he brings6:39 me in. He goes, oh, what is it that you wanna do? I said, well, you know, I was kind of an athlete in school, and I I think I'm looking for a job that has some action in it. I want a job with action. Because So I was6:48 thinking more like a combat role or, you know, special forces or something like that. He goes, let me see what I got. So he gets on his little computer. And he goes, I got just the thing for you. And he tells me, how6:59 does 75 echo sound? And I'm like, I don't know what to think about phonetic alphabets, but I'm like, yeah. That sounds that sounds that sounds pretty good. I have no idea what it is. And he goes7:12 he goes, 75 echo, that's a personnel action specialist. And I'm like, I think that's what I was looking for. I had no idea what that even meant. So sign7:23 me up. I sign. I go off to Jackson. I do all my training. I get through basic, then I go to my school. So I'm expecting to go to this, you know, kind of a tactical school or something because I'm like, cool. I7:35 get there into a classroom with with word processors in there and I'm like, this can't be where I'm at. So in my case, Sarge, he looks at my paper. He goes, yeah. They're supposed to be7:47 go there and sit down. I'm like, I walk in there. I sit down. I've I'm there for another 8 weeks learning how to be a clerk typist. That was the action specialist position that I had signed up for. I'm like, this is not7:59 what I signed up for. So I did 6 years in the on reserves, but in the process, came out of there, went to college. Obviously, college is not for everybody. College was not for me.8:12 Came back out.8:13 You get typed like nobody's business.8:16 So I I had actually taken typing in high school 2 years because I was looking for an easy grade because as an athlete, you have to keep your GPA up to to to, qualify to stay in sports. So I go,8:27 typing, that should be a piece of cake. Okay. I got these both both years, But I actually learned how to type. So I didn't realize how that was gonna help me later on in my career because jump forward when I got into8:39 law enforcement, everything I I typed, all your reports, you know, computer, you know, computers became the big thing. You had to type everything else. And I'm like, man, at least I had a skill that I could fall back on8:50 that made my life so much easier than trying to hunt and peck like I used to see my counterparts doing. I'm like, well, thank you. You you knew where to put me, and I didn't even realize it at the time. So I think he9:03 because the most high he knows past, present, and future, he goes, he's gonna need this in the future that I have set for him.9:14 Like so he puts me and it sounds funny. He put me in a class because I thought I was trying to be get the easy grade. It was a skill that I was gonna need later on. He's always9:26 he's always so far ahead of us. Clearly, I'm looking for a real job. I get a job and I'm I'm working at the jail, and I'm at the jail county jail. It was a city jail, actually. And I used to see these cops9:38 coming in and out the jail. Oh my god. That seems like a pretty pretty cool gig. So this guy came and goes, why don't you wanna come apply with us? I'm like, he goes, how old are you? I think I had just turned 21. Or I9:49 was 20, and I was looking toward 21. So I filled the application. They actually call me. They hire me. And it was it was interesting that that I even got hired because10:01 by the time I actually went to the academy, I had just turned 21, and that was you had to be 21 and you you can get to the academy at that time. Getting to the academy, I had been with the department for about 3 months10:13 before they sent to the academy. And we had, like, this in service training stuff. And, it with the department, but when they sent me to the academy, when when when you're really naive and you don't know how the system10:24 works, it's, it's interesting because I had no concept of what the academy was even about. I'm like, I don't know what this is about. I thought it was just more training like I had gotten at the at the police department10:35 doing in service. So So they sent me to the academy. I'm in I'm at the academy. And, my personality, I goof around a lot and I've always goofed around. So I'm goofed around the academy, you know, not standing10:46 in line, not starting to get attention, doing just stuff, picking on people like I do. And so about halfway through the academy, the director calls me to his office and goes, hey. We need to talk. I'm like, what? He10:57 goes, scholastically, you're doing fine, but your behavior is atrocious. I go, what do you mean? Because I behaved the way I did when I was at the PDU with all the other guys, and you just, you know, just11:09 kinda move around. He goes, if you don't pass the academy, you don't have a job. He goes, this is to get you certified through the state so you can maintain your job at the police department. If if we kick you11:21 out, you're done. I'm like, I had no idea. So the lack of knowledge can be deadly, in a career and in our11:32 self toward our search for salvation and truth. The lack of information is everything. So I understood. I got the message. So I go into I I complete the academy successfully.11:45 Behavior is perfect. Then so I started my my career in law enforcement. There was I think that was the action that I was11:57 interested in when I first walked into the recruiter's office with the military. I found that with law enforcement. I I did the patrol thing for a little while, then I became a k 9 officer, worked k 912:09 for a couple years, then I promoted to investigations. It's where I think I found my joy because within the investigations, I worked everything from homicides to rapes to child molestation cases, kinda ran12:21 the gamut on it. And I touched slightly on narcotics, but I was kind of afraid of narcotics because I didn't really understand that world from where I came from. My dad was in the military. We moved around a lot. And12:32 so the only people I really associated with was my brothers. So I didn't have a lot of other outside associations. Didn't get into the drug world. Didn't know anything about the drug world. So that was pretty12:41 intimidating as a young man. So when I got into into, criminal, I kinda dabbled in a little bit, and I thought it was very interesting. But it intrigued me the way12:53 it it made me feel when I dealt with that. So unknown. The opportunity came for me to to actually get into narcotics. So I started as a young narcotics officer knowing nothing.13:05 And back then, there wasn't these these fancy schools that that they could send agents to now. It was kinda like you learn on the job. We took you out there. The the older guys go, this is what you do. This is what you13:17 ask for. This is how we're gonna play the game, and we're gonna start you from ground 1. You're gonna you're gonna start as a street level purchaser as if you're buying it for for self, personal use. And13:30 in my understanding on TV, that's always the way it was for movies on TV that, yeah, but, yeah, you're just a drug addict and you buy drugs out on the street and it is for personal consumption and stuff. And that was a13:40 good base for me to to figure that out. But I'm like, okay, this is like this is like too easy and there's nothing really to this because any any junkie anytime of the day can go and, you know,13:52 buy a tinner or whatever he needs for his habit. So I'm like, it was fun and it was a good basis and I think it was important to know that, to understand that level. But then I kinda moved up in in14:04 the type of cases I wanted to work. I ended up being, attached to a federal drug task force. From there, I actually ended up being a a task force officer with the FBI for a while because the14:16 local FBI where I worked didn't really have anybody that understood the narcotics world. And I had brought them in on some of my cases because as as a task force agent, I had to have a14:28 federal counterpart in order to to turn these cases into federal investigations. Because you need the federal money and you need the federal backing because the group I was with, we had money, but we had limited funds14:38 when it came to working bigger cases, mid level cases or upper level cases. Simply couldn't afford it. So we'd have to bring in the federal agencies for their money, their equipment, and their manpower to assist with14:50 these cases. So that's kinda where I ended up, and I did that for the the the last about 20 years of my career that was focused specifically on narcotics investigations. I stopped the criminal15:02 stuff, and I'm kinda glad that I I think I moved away from the criminal because some of the things I had to deal with, even in criminal, are some of those things that that still come back to haunt you later on in your15:13 life as you retire. The things you saw, the children that were injured, other police officers know exactly who I'm talking about. They come back periodically.15:25 So the blessing to me is moving away from that strictly into something specialized, like narcotics. I didn't see that part of the world anymore.15:37 I saw a whole different part of of the world, which was really fascinating. Fascinating me because I used to always think that these cartels are, like, just these cowboys that kicked around and sold a little dope15:49 here and there. When I realized the magnitude of the skill, the intelligence, the the money, the professionalism that these guys bring to the table,16:04 When you don't know, that can lead to your death your end. Just like with the most high. If you don't know everything, you could be thinking 1 thing and totally wrong when it comes to what the truth is.16:16 So when I actually discovered and start to learn about how these cartels operate, I mean, they have the world's best pharmacists. They have the best accountants. They have the best marketing people. Money is is16:28 absolutely no object to these people because the amount of money that they derive even from from the drug use of Americans here. These guys are so rich. It it's amazing to me. I'm like,16:41 some of these guys were such players that they would put on these horse races, special horse races, illegal off the track initially, and they would literally bet millions of dollars16:53 on a horse that they bought. And there was no rules. You drag up the horse all you want to. You know, it was it was competition. Who could get the best horse? I mean, you're you have these guys doing million dollar bets17:01 out there on on these home tracks. You know, it's fascinating. As as I kinda got into into the game where I realized that the racing industry is inundated with the same thing. It17:13 just is. They've taken over the the racing industry as a whole. So you got a lot of people that that were legitimate people running races before, but now17:25 that that has changed to the point where it's almost hard for, a local guy who's not connected, who doesn't have endless months of wealth to compete in that in that arena anymore because these guys buy the best17:37 horses. They can afford the best horses. And so that's just 1 of the areas that they've they've really excelled and taken over. Not to say that they haven't taken over many other places because politically,17:49 these guys are they're everywhere. They bought up judges. They bought off attorneys. They have the best attorneys to defend their people. So it's pretty amazing that that world was a world I never knew existed until I18:00 start getting into it. So that's kinda where where we are now. So if you have anything specific you want to So let's talk about your your undercover career. Funny to say,18:12 but unless you've been there, I don't think a lot of people understand. It's the funnest job in law enforcement. It's the best kept secret in law enforcement.18:24 That job is well, to me personally, it was exactly what I was looking for to do with my career. There's a lot of guys that that18:36 joined the task forces because they like the idea of being called an art, but when it came time to do art things, they wouldn't. They might as well just be a a narcotics detective because they18:48 weren't gonna do what a a true undercover narc is required to do. My job was to infiltrate drug trafficking organizations. I19:00 would get to know an individual who's a player, identify these people because a lot of information is out there on the streets from informants that that you get to know. They would say, yeah, this guy is a player. This19:11 is somebody that you should probably look at. I wouldn't I would get to meet this guy. I would endear myself to them. They're to me them to me. I would start doing deals with them until I I was buying beyond what they're19:23 capable of doing because within the organization, there's you have steps. Like, this guy, we will allow him to sell up to, you know, up to a key at a time. Next guy up, you know, he can he can push19:34 10. The next guy is, you know, whatever you need, we can provide for you. And so the goal was to get to the top of the of the rung to the biggest player that you can find and then reverse it19:46 back and find out everybody else who's involved in the in the organization and try to run it back as far as we can to Mexico. And we ran a lot of our cases back directly back to Mexico to the cartels where they were.19:56 Problem is all we could do is that at that point was give the information to to some of the DEA guys that are working back in in Mexico and see us on the Mexican, federalities we're interested in that. Usually, nothing20:07 ever came with that when it hit to that got back to that point. But our goal was to take out everything we could here in the states, anything that was local. And so our job was to infiltrate and dismantle these drug20:16 trafficking organizations. That was the mission. None of this stuff is done by myself solely. It was always done with the with the team. So I was just 1 part of that team that was working on the20:28 case. We had our our our surveillance guys, we had our security teams. Every time I go and do a deal, that's available to me all the time because when you're dealing with these people, you never really know how20:40 things are gonna turn out. But, once you start to understand that they need you more than you need them20:52 from a purchase perspective because these guys that are here that are that are pushing weight, they they have people back home. They're saying, you need to keep selling. You we got 10 we got 10 more keys coming. You got21:04 another 50 pounds of meth coming. You need to be pushing this stuff out because it's all about the money. It's not about you personally, it's about the money. And then the goal was if you could find a guy who was21:15 consistent, who was who was secure that you felt good with, that you didn't think was law enforcement connected in any way, shape, form, that's the kind of customer they wanted. Somebody that that I have a customer that21:27 every week or every 2 weeks, this guy buys x number from me, and I can move this much product out of my stash because I know I got some more coming back home and they're pressuring me back to keep pushing it out. So once21:39 you figure it out as a mid level player, like, okay, these are the these are the guys that I wanna know. These guys who have the ability to get weight. We had set up deals. We21:51 I'd talk to them, become we actually become friends, and I I would joke around a lot with these guys because this human being is just like every ask when you realize it. You know? Yeah. They may be drug dealers here,22:03 but there's still people like you and me. They have senses of humor. They got families. They got their kids. They they they do their quinceaneras. They have their dances. They have their problems. They have their ex22:14 wife. They have their girlfriend on the side. So all these things, it was interesting that I would engage with them on all these different levels and talk about this stuff and and and you to the point where you actually22:27 it appears that you are now friends, good friends, but always having to know where where the line is in that game. Because the entire game of in the world22:39 of narcotics, you're living a lie. Everything about you is a lie. Everything that you tell them is a lie. Everything that you profess yourself to be is fictitious. And usually, I22:51 would base my different identities on something that I was very familiar with because in order to be believable and sell your truth, you have to have a nugget nugget of of23:03 reality backing that truth up that you're trying to put push. I'm like, yeah. I, I'm a horseshoe for I do that for a living. So23:15 when I sold myself, I sold myself as a horse guy. I broke and train horses. We'd start talking about horses. Oh, yeah. I got this horse. You should come and see it. You endear yourself to these people as, like, an23:27 a fellow horse guy, then you start talking about business, and and that's how you would endear yourself to them. And then pretty soon your buddies and your they're showing you pictures of horses that they got, and all of23:38 a sudden you're, like, best friends. But the goal is to work up a case on them. So everything that you presented to them and made them believe23:50 is a lie. That's no different than what evil does every day to human beings. He creates24:02 an illusion of truth. Close it out there and see who bites. Who can who can I draw in? But I'm gonna throw it out there with just a a24:14 nugget of truth, but everything else around there is a deception. If you can buy my deception, because as a as a believer and a person who's searching, you said, well, I wanna find that truth. And24:26 if I see that negative truth, everything else must be real. Everything else that I'm being taught, everything that that he's saying to me must be truth because I can see a nugget of24:37 truth that was laid out before me and that's the big deception. And so what I see I did in in in my work as a narcotics agent, an undercover24:49 agent is no different than how how I see the world is today. When when evil is in charge of this world, the best way to sell a story is with the nugget of truth and25:01 then build around that nugget of truth where you deceive millions of people, and that's the deception. And what is evil here for? Kill, steal, and destroy at any cost. At the cost25:13 of this is of deceiving the millions in the masses? Absolutely. That's the goal. What good is it to to throw out a truth if you're only you only need to get 2 or 3 people to buy into it. But if you could throw out25:23 partial truth, masked in falsehood, you can fool millions of people. And I think that's what's happening in the world. Biblical text talks about, you know, the road the road to the25:35 most high is narrow and in a difficult path and few find it. Why would he say that? It's almost discouraging for those who are searching for truth. When you hear that and you read that biblical text, you know,25:47 the roach perdition is wide. And there's people that who seek truth but will never find it because they've bought into25:59 a nugget. They saw the nugget but then they bought into everything else that surrounds it and it's gonna lead them down a path that they're never gonna they're never gonna find that narrow path to the truth and to the26:11 most high that we're supposed to find and that's where I compare what I used to do with to how the world really is. And if you operate, and I operated26:23 like the world operated, I used what the what I saw the world did and evil did, I flipped it over for for the benefit of good. I said, fine. If this is what fools people, it fools26:34 the masses, and it's and I'm able to use that same technique to take down these guys that are bringing poison, death, and destruction to my community.26:44 So, Eustace, when we first met, like I said, we were introduced through a mutual friend. We've gotten to be really close friends. You've, you've invited me and my family over to meet your horse. Are you running an26:56 op on me, brother? I just gotta ask. I think I'm gonna have to pat you down after this.27:01 You'd be wise if you didn't.27:04 So in all seriousness though, man, how you take on these identities, right, And you move up through the ranks, and you take down these pieces of the cartel. How do you27:16 not lose your identity in the process? Who are who is useless?27:24 I was lost. I called the last 10 years. And that's because I didn't27:38 I wasn't guided by the most high. I was a young narc who wasn't grounded. And the way he operates, here's money, go27:50 make cases. Back in the day, it was different the way it is now. Back then, they actually just gave me money and said, go make cases. I spent years in the bar because that's where deals could be made.28:02 I realized that there's other ways to make deals way bigger and way better deals than away from the bars, but that's that was the level of a narcotics agent at the time. So I spent about 10 years28:14 drink drinking and doing deals. That's what I did as a young man. Girl. That brought me nothing but destruction in my28:26 family, family life, in my personal life, in my health. So I referred to them as the last 10 years. And I never really made the gains28:38 in my career that I wanted to based on that. Ended up with a drinking problem when your department is funding your habit?28:52 What do you think is gonna happen after 10 years? You go to the bar, and especially when you're young, you're young, liquid courage, now it made me loosen my tongue, it made it easier to talk to to people that I didn't29:03 even know, just engage them in conversation. That's what the drinking did. And so I used it as a crutch. That became the thing that I used29:15 for my courage. Because of those lost 10 years, I thought my career was was over. My career as an enforcement officer was29:27 done. I ended up testifying against a bunch of other police officers that were engaged in criminal activity with drug trafficking. They had they29:39 had endeared themselves to people that were moving a lot of weight, and these are some of the people that I was involved with. They were supposed to be fellow officers. So I ended up testifying against these guys,29:51 and that pretty much killed my career. So I thought because I had to actually leave where I was at. I couldn't I could no longer remain in that area anymore because these guys were30:03 pretty connected. Leave the area. They do what they do with the police officers. The feds go after them. They take care of these. There's some the district attorney involved. There's some other players involved. Police30:14 officers are involved in in the trafficking of narcotics through this this other organization, and these are, like, cops. It was, like, talk about being heartbroken. When you're naive, you think, no. All cops are good.30:25 We're the good guys. We're the white hats. Not knowing truth, like I was saying, will cause you all kinds of trouble.30:37 So I pretty much thought my career was done. That's I think that's when I actually I had to hit rock bottom before I start to to seek the most high because okay. I tried to30:49 do this all by myself. Look where it ended me up. Career's done. Couple ex wives. No house and a horrible drinking problem.31:01 So not much good come to that. So start kinda regrouped. Start trying to seek the most high,31:13 find truth again, went back to some of the things that my my mom had explained to me. I go, well, that's fine, but I need to find truth for myself. So biblical text. I said, this is where31:25 I'm if this is true, this is where I'm gonna find the truth that I need to get back on track. If my career may be over it and I I can accept that, but I still have a life to lead and I still have to move31:37 forward. The most high is so good. He restored me back into my31:49 job, back into law enforcement, back into narcotics investigations again, back to what I was doing, in a fashion32:00 that's tenfold to what I was doing before. I mean, whole different level, whole different players, whole different persona, a whole different way of approaching these people, dealing with32:12 these people. I never had a drink. Nobody ever said, hey. Sample this. I mean, all that was street level Mickey Mouse stuff when you start to understand the game. He put me in a in a whole32:24 different place. My mind was clear. I was sober. He took the drinking away overnight. Gone. Because I prayed, I said, you know, if I'm gonna do this, I can't32:37 I can't be a drunk anymore. Healed. And and how many people can I didn't go through a 12 step program? I didn't do any of those things. I just32:49 asked. Surrender.32:51 Just passed and surrendered, and he honored it. Okay. But I got things for you to do now. And that's where he led me to the the next level that we're kinda talking about when I started dealing with bigger cases, bigger33:03 individuals. And that's where I ended up just loving the job. Because I felt that and I knew in my heart that33:15 he put me there. So when it came to dealing with these guys, I like had no fear. Like, in Bill of Texas, just 365 times, Fear33:26 not. Don't be afraid. I guess I took that to heart with my job. So I would I would go and involve myself33:38 in individual cases that other guys were not wanting to deal with. They're like, I don't know. I don't want any dead. I'm your guy. Because I had no fear anymore.33:50 Like, you can kill the body, but as long as nothing's gonna kill my soul or steal my soul, I have nothing to fear. The most high is totally in control of everything that I'm doing34:02 now. He brought me here, he brought me back here for a reason. Pretty sure he's gonna take care of me. And if and if if something happens and that's my way to go and34:14 he's chosen that to be my way, man, what what better way to go than to be going doing something I absolutely love?34:21 Eustace, how did your career finally end? And and I know there's a lot of stuff that, obviously, we can't talk about past cases and stuff, but how did it finally end? And, where are you now?34:29 So my career kinda even during the time I was working in our cognitive, I was also, I became, a SWAT operator, and I was also a scout sniper for our team. I was also the firearms instructor for our SWAT team. And34:41 so I had a lot of like, law enforcement was totally my thing. I it was all about that. When it became about that, it became about that and the most high. Those are those are the truths that I live by.34:54 So as my career started to wind down, I'm like, I didn't wanna I didn't wanna I didn't wanna quit. I didn't wanna to say that's enough. Okay. 30 years is a long time to be in that35:05 game. 20 years specifically in narcotics investigations. I'm like so in the process of those investigations, I I met35:17 the blessing of my life. My wife. She also works for a federal federal agency, and that's how me and her got acquainted. And so such a blessing.35:30 Way prettier than you. Way35:33 Look at me. Look at me. Come on. Yes. Another blessing, obviously. We got together, 2 cases. Eventually, it became a a close friendship, then eventually became a romance, and we ended up35:45 getting married. And she was, she didn't believe anything 1 way or the other. She was, like, didn't believe in spirituality, didn't believe in god, nothing.35:58 But since me and her got together in just the little nuggets that I would throw out, that girl is so on fire. Such a blessing. So my career36:09 is is winding down, but I don't wanna leave because I'm at the pinnacle of my skill level. I'm like, there is no case that I'm not willing to36:21 take on that I think I can't get into. So things are just to just it things are finally working for me, smoothed out. And36:33 I'm like, I'm at the top of my game, and this is the time that I'm gonna walk away from this? I'm like, I don't know if I can do that. And my wife, she said, you know, it's probably time to get out. There was some36:45 issues in the in the state that I lived in where they're starting to look at and going after police officers for legitimate incidents, shooting incidents, and they were actually coming after him trying to36:57 prosecute them. And I'm sure everybody around the country, any conservative named police officer, recognizes these things that have happened to police officers, how the tide turns, especially in in the past37:07 administration. Things really turned against law enforcement. And it's those hard chargers, those with the true warrior spirit, were the ones that they're they're37:19 looking to prosecute. Because those are the frontline guys. Those are the hard chargers they're gonna get they're gonna put their their lives at risk for the benefit of their community because that's what they37:31 took a note to do. That's the warrior mentality is about. Those are the guys that were getting themselves in trouble and were getting prosecuted. I had my own incidents, deadly force incidents during my career,Show more In this video 0:00 A Journey of Faith and RedemptionComments No comments yet. Start the conversation.
