"As you can see from the various pictures, I've had the opportunity to serve in two of the most important fields to our community - medicine and law enforcement.  This combined experience has contributed to what AIEME is today.  The Lord’s blessed me with a wonderful family as well as tremendous advisors and faculty members who have become extended family. I've enjoyed the tremendous experience of watching so many of our participants progress in their professionalism while transitioning from 'students' to friends.  I can’t thank you enough for the support you've provided for me and for our faculty throughout these past years.  We continue in our mission of teaching that 'those who truly care about their patients, will truly excel in patient care'.  We are proud to share that legacy with you...."
