My first blog???

    My name is Gregory Vanderhoof, and I go by Greg. I am attending Missouri Western State University in search of a degree in Criminal Justice. I have always wanted to pursue a career in Law Enforcement and one of my goals is to attend the Police Academy in the near future. I am also interested in studying the reasons why people commit crimes and what led them to committing these crimes and what it would take to stop people from committing crimes.
     I was born in the State of Ohio, and raised in a little town called Sheffield Lake, which is located on Lake Erie. I attended grade school at St.Thomas, and graduated high school from Lorain Catholic. I enlisted in the U.S Army, and there I spent 6 years. I left the military and went to work for Ford Motor Company for the next 16 years. I left Ford in 2008, and from there I went to work for the Department of Corrections as a Corrections Officer, and here is where I got to deal close up with the criminal society. I left the Department of Corrections, and now I work for a Security Company, and here I am  employed as a Armed Private Security Officer.
       I am intersted in reading books about serial killers and the different crimes and murders that have taken place over the past years. I am not a big fan in writing as you can tell. I also like watching shows on tv like Criminal Minds, 48 hours, C.S.I. and such shows like that.
