My daughter was abducted by my ex wife, she is to young for CSFI but they still tried to help me. After this occurrence I decided to help other families with finding their children.

My story has at least one comical point to it. I have been involved in the real estate industry for 16 years so am used to a flexible schedule allowing me to find ways to help out in my community. That was always important to me. I moved to Tennessee in 2009 and spent several years trying to find the right volunteer match for me. I spent time doing Relay for Life, working with the no kill shelter in the area but quickly felt the "clique" atmosphere of an old network. I started looking into how to help with children and signed up as a NCMEC poster partner, that was about all there was available for a citizen concerning missing children. It was highly unfulfilling. Around that time a story was published in the paper about a local child that had disappeared. Shortly after a second story with circumstances identical and the Father's of those children were now working together. THEN the next article which left me saying (literally and out loud) "some hotshot biker, PI, former Special Operations guy from Texas is going to help these families". Lol, that was Chuck. My curiosity was high and I started following the cases closely. I wasn't much of a Facebooker then but the Father of one of those girls became my first Facebook friend I had never met in person, followed by Chuck, the other Father and Teressa. Shortly after I see "Found Safe". The girls were located, not together, but both many States away. I became an avid CFSI follower and after a number of posted Found Safes knew I had found where I belonged. I have been a part of CFSI for more than two years now and currently serve as Organization President. It has been an amazing journey, watching how much it has grown, the successes, the rough times, all of you shining, building relationships with the Team I consider family and having that "hotshot biker, PI, former Special Ops dude" become my nearest and dearest friend. I can't imagine my life without all of this as a central part of it....once you get involved it is a life changer.
