"While living in Southern California, I realized my passion was to help others, and I became a Police Officer at the age of 21," he wrote. "Before my 16-year career was cut short due to injuries sustained in the line of duty, ultimately leading to early retirement, I took great pride in helping people with everyday difficulties and putting them at ease."
