I recently retired as a Supervisory Special Agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) after 29 years of dedicated service. I signed on with the DEA on November 3, 1991 in the Springfield, Massachusetts office. After graduating from the DEA Academy in Quantico, Virginia in February, 1992, I transferred to the Miami, Florida office where I served for seven years. I then completed tours in Brussels, Belgium; Providence, Rhode Island; Cincinnati, Ohio and Columbus, Ohio. I was the recipient of numerous awards and accolades throughout my career in the war on drugs, including two DEA Administrator’s Awards, one for Exceptional Service and the other for Group Achievement. I had some crazy times there as it was just after the reign of the Medellin Cartel and the Cocaine Cowboys headed by Pablo Escobar. These are my stories!
