Bio:
My name is Keith (29 years old) and I live in Houma, LA which is about 40 miles south of New Orleans. I am married with two strong sons and two white German Shepherds. (oh and a gold fish too). I am a police officer here in Houma for the past three and 1/2 years where I am currently assigned to the patrol division as a field training officer. I am also a member of the S.W.A.T. team where I am on an entry team. Prior to this, I worked in our parish jail as a shift supervisor for four and 1/2 years. Due to reasons beyond my control, I have not been able to serve in our military, though I do have family who are currently serving in Iraq in the Marine Corps. I am a drill instructor here in the Cav and I love my job!!
