In the News

February 25, 2010

An interview I did with KMOV Channel 4 news about Pursuit Safety and Focus Driven can be found here.

I will be meeting with Candy Priano of PursuitSafety in April and will hopefully be taking on more responsibility in the Midwest for Pursuit Safety.

Maybe this is what I’m supposed to be doing, maybe this is my life’s path.  And if it isn’t, then I’m still doing good work while I’m wondering why this happened.

News and Upcoming Events

February 18, 2010

The criminal trial will in all likelihood be continued until April 26, 2010.   The civil hearing is still set for April 19, 2010.

The latest news article about the motion to dismiss can be read here.

A memorial blood drive will be held on February 23, 2010, from 3pm to 8pm at the KC Hall in Collinsville, IL.
