 In this episode I have on my sweet sweet Kerry, my favorite person in the world! I have had requests in the past for her to come on and give a wife's perspective, and in a moment of weakness, she agreed!! I had a really great time hearing her answer the questions I asked and actually learned things I didn't know about her thoughts on police work.  I also give a review on the podcast stats over the past year and share what the analytics tell me the typical TPS listener likes besides this podcast.  It was a really fun time and I am really happy for you guys to finally meet my wife!

Merry Christmas and God bless you and yours!!

Dustin Hill started his law enforcement career in Minnesota and finished it in North Dakota. In the course of his career he worked everything from the Jails, Patrol, K9, Narcotics, and the Dive Team.  Dustin gave a lot of himself to the job and the job took a lot of him in return.  His journey from a PTSD spiral to a successful business owner is truly inspiring.  He is now the owner/operator of Burkett Customs producing high end custom knives, guns grips, and engravings.  His work has even been mentioned on the Joe Rogan Podcast! It was an honor to have him on to share his stories! Dustin credits the Boulder Crest Foundation for helping to get him back on his feet onto the road to recovery, link below.
