The Academy doesn't prepare you for everything. They teach you how to clear a corner. They teach you to be ready for the gun, the knife, or the ambush. They don't have a simulator for the moment you realize the 'thump-thump' behind the door isn't your typical person—it’s something much, much bigger.
​Join me for Episode 3 as we walk into a residence that felt like a horror movie and ended like a fever dream. This is why we call it 'The Gray.'

Welcome to the front seat of a gray cruiser in Appalachia. A Gen-X retired KY Trooper sharing the raw, harrowing, and occasionally hilarious stories that stay with you long after the sirens stop. No fancy studio—just real calls, life lessons from the ridges, and the occasional guest bark from my Goldendoodle pup, Trooper.

Pull up a chair and stay a while.

I climbed until I reached the lone back window sill. I could barely make out the unmistakable but motionless shape on the floor.

We cleared the dogs away from the front door and moved in, our flashlights cutting through the stale air. As we reached the end of the first wall, my partner froze. Pale as a ghost—he just mouthed it to me:

‘SCREAM. MASK.’

The crazy homicide call I'll never forget, plus a little bit about me. Join my first-ever podcast and listen to a harrowing story with a humorous undertone that goes along perfectly with being a Trooper in Appalachia. This first episode is only 10 minutes long, so pull up a chair!

If you like real and unpolished, well, you're in the right place. (My pup even makes an unexpected guest sound-byte!) I'm still working on all the things the well-known podcasters do with their dedicated studios and equipment, but the content will be unfiltered and in-the-moment as I describe some of my craziest and most unforgettable calls with each episode going forward. It's therapeutic for me, and I will include some of my Appalachian upbringing and Gen-X life lessons to let you see what makes me different from all the other podcasters and YouTubers. Thank you for being here!
