A weightlifter, former pro-wrestler and Police Academy graduate, he works in broadcasting when not in his tights. He recently changed his title to "Old Superhero" to reflect his age & time in the RLSH community. He occasionally still patrols but mostly uses his non-profit & broadcast status to provide support to the other members of the RLSH community.
