Thank You For Your Support

As some of you know, several years ago I started a toy drive to help those in need during the holiday season.  The short version is that my youngest son was born on Christmas Day and when he joined the United States Marines, he was forward deployed during the holidays.  Since it was difficult at best to send him presents there, we did what we could, I started a campaign to receive toys from those willing to give and for the first two seasons, we delivered those toys to Toys 4 Tots locally. 

This past holiday season, I was blessed to have the continued support of some amazing organizations and individuals and through a ton of Can Do attitude and Never Give Up determination, I was able to gain permission from the Commanding General of Camp Pendleton to become the second organization in the history of the Base to be allowed to donate our toys and gifts to the families of the men and women serving this Great Nation. 

All in all, the combined efforts of those who were involved resulted in what is now known as the North Pole Foundation being born.  They are also responsible for 9 different Certificates of Appreciation, Letters of Accommodation and four Challenge Coins being awarded to the North Pole Foundation.  None of these honors would have been possible without their help.  In the near future, I hope to be able to secure a modest warehouse space with an office to house both the Private Investigations business and the North Pole Foundation. Please stay tuned to http://www.northpolefoundation.org/ for up dates and events as they become available.

I could never have made this happen without the support and love of all of those who made their own events happen and allowed their respective organizations to be a part of something that does such great work.  We will continue.  This year we are working on being able to duplicate our efforts in Arizona and with the continued support of all of those who gave of their time, energy and yes, personal finances, we will grow and continue to make differences in the lives of those who protect our rights to be who we are.

Please take a brief moment to review the video and join me in thanking all of those who contributed and more importantly, all of those who serve. 


Again, thank you to each and every one who gave.

Do not aspire to be part of something - aspire to create something others aspire to be a part of.
