About Me:

As Chief Executive Officer, my primary responsibility is to design, implement, and acquire funding, both public and private, for NCPRS’ nationwide programs. I also maintain an active role in program management by overseeing school, community, and motorsports events, community volunteers, and NCPRS staff that has a positive influence on human behavior and public health.

Utilizing forty-four years of criminal justice, public safety and health experience, I founded Race Against Drugs in 1989 by developing partnerships with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration, Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, Department of Health & Human Services, Office of Juvenile Justice & Delinquency Prevention, and 22 motorsport sanctioning organizations.  As Director of Crime Prevention for the Bureau of Justice Assistance, US Department of Justice, I assisted in the development and supervision of the McGruff “Take a Bite Out of Crime” campaign, the comprehensive crime prevention campaign, and the community crime prevention initiative from 1979-1989.

I have had the privilege to combine my passions for criminal justice, public health, and motorsports into scientific based programs and curriculums that have proven to be effective in changing attitudes and behavior of young people.

To further this cause and message of drug demand reduction/prevention, we developed the K-2 Activity Books, 3-5th Activity Series, Adopt-A-School Kits, How To Manuals, Drug Information Brochures, Posters, and the Stay On Track 6-8th Grade Curriculum. My challenge now is to enable others to seek out new opportunities to utilize the speed, sound, color and excitement of motorsports to address and change how public health is taught in this country.
