Like so many of my guests, Roger has lived many lives in one lifetime! And the positions he's held, the opportunities to serve, are very honorable.

He began public service by joining the Army. He left the Army and was hired by the Chief of Goshen Police Department. After about 5 years, he headed West for better weather and to be closer to family. Hired by the Arizona Department of Public Safety, he began his career on the Navajo Reservation in a town called Kayenta.

Undercover/Narcotics in Pinetop, AZ, a promotion to Sergeant. Then a move to Pinal County where he was promoted Lieutenant. At the 21 year mark, he was approached to run for Sheriff. He won two elections, professionalizing the agency and making big strides to improve the department before being asked by AZ Governor Janet Napolitano to become the Director of AZ DPS.

Tune in, check it out. I'm honored to have Roger as the newest member of The Squad...

Lou has been mentioned by Kurt Dabb a few times. Nothing brings you closer to peace than being choked out by your Brazilian Jui Jitsu brothers and sisters!

He's a Navy Veteran who came to know many of the first responder community through BJJ. He felt a tugging on his heart to take it a step further and start to work on hearts and minds and well as the physical fitness aspect.

This led him to create a group where vets and first responders could decompress, share the tough parts of their jobs amongst friends and mix in a little Faith to help strengthen the members as well.

On this journey, I've discussed many resources and paths to thrive beyond our experiences, not just survive. It's one of the greatest honors of producing this show and speaking with so many wonderful folks...Give Lou the warmest welcome!

As promised, in consecutive weeks, good ol Dave Thomas is back and we chat about his stint in Homicide, Arson, Internal Affairs, and finally the Metropolitan Area Narcotics Trafficking Interdiction Squad (MANTIS).

Dave's a very artistic dude, we discussed his fiction book "The Gordian Knot" published in 2009. Now, he has a Non Fiction book coming out this summer, "Requiem for Justice," where he writes about some of the cases that impacted him from his career.

It is absolutely my honor to be trusted with the legacies of the brave men and women who have agreed to be on the show...I'm grateful and humbled. Please tune in, give Dave a warm welcome and enjoy the rest of his career.
