Thread: Greegings from the Capital of Florida

Been lurking for a little while and I figured I’d finally join. So I guess I now need to introduce myself.

Born and raised in Miami Florida and currently living in Tallahassee (State Capital). Family is Cuban and Spanish in my first language. I’m a second generation cop and started my career in Uniform Patrol in Miami. Yes, the actual Miami of Miami Vice fame. Anyways…. I’ve progressed in my career and moved from Uniform Patrol to VIP/Dignitary Protection and now currently in plain clothes investigations. Other than being a cop I was also a grunt in the Army and had a gun shop.

As a second gen cop, I grew up around guns. My father was a cop for 36 years and also a hunter. So guns around the house were common. I remember dad wearing a S&W Model 13 as a plain clothes special agent during the cocaine cowboy days of 1980s Miami and then him moving onto the Beretta 92SB and later he was one of the first cops in Florida to carry Glock. So yeah…. Guns are I have a very long history together.

Anyways; I enjoy traveling, guns, hunting, and making new contacts across the globe. I hope I don’t come across as some brash jerk showing off his toys. I’m a sucker for police and military patches and challenge coins.
