About Jester

Biography:

Born in Tampa and lived north of Tampa in the New Port Richey area until I met my wife and moved to Polk County around 2001. Joined the Police Academy and started my career as a Police Officer. My wife and struggled to have children. Just a string of miscarriages and a lot of practicing. Not sure which was tougher on my wife, the miscarriages or all the practicing. But we finally decided that having a child biologically maybe wasn't meant to be so we began the grueling process of adopting. We had always planned on having one child biologically and then adopting a second one so we were excited about the possibilities. There were heartbreaks along the way. The state would put children with us and then once we were in love with them and they were calling us mommy and daddy the state would step in and claim there was a mistake the kids were no longer able to be adopted and would remove them with no warning. So finally we met our children. We were very excited when we were able to adopt Regan (10) and James (8) in 2007. So we went from no kids to holy crap 2 kids closing in on pre-teen over night. I has been great though. Regan and now 15 and learning to drive and James and 13 and just made the Golf team at school. So I worked my way through becoming a training officer, then Detective, and the I was promoted to Patrol Sergeant. I was very content with my Patrol Sergeant position. I had a great squad. Some great guys that were fun to work with just real good cops. Then while on my way to work on Feb 23, 2010 me and my passenger a fellow officer and Jeeper were involved in a traffic crash. I was driving my 2005 LJ with a 4" l;ift and 35" tires. A lady pulled out in front of us and I swerved to miss the collision and instead of t-boning her I hit the front end and jumped her car. I was an idiot and was not wearing my seat belt. I was ejected right through the Bestop Trek Top. Dan was wearing his seat belt and remained in the Jeep. I still think he should have followed me out but he broke his collar bone as his punishment for not following me. So I was severely injured and flown out to a trauma center. My left leg from the hip all the way down had to be amputated. So its not possible to do the Job as a Patrol Sergeant with only one leg so my career in law enforcement was over. I am now a Retired Police Sergeant so I decided to get involved in my second love. Figured if I can't be a cop which I know was my calling I might as well do what I love so I started Jester Offroad back in June of 2011. My plan is to open a shop and offer parts and full services to the offroad community. I know it is a long Biography but there is a lot that has happen to get me to this point in my life.
