a soccer official at the high school and col- lege level for 40 years. Brad is a collegiate level referee assessor. He encourages UMFK students in the criminal justice degree pro- gram to look beyond typical police work, and toward working in a correctional facility. It is a field that helps you develop excellent com- munications skills, provides the opportunity to sharpen skills in doing searches, and offers opportunities in special operations, K9 opera- tions, honor guard, and promotional opera- tions. It’s a good lead-in to work as a proba- tion officer and other treatment-oriented programs. Brad says he sounds like a recruiter now. He also states that he enjoys reading The Bell Tower.
