A Look Back At Our First Event

Tuesday night's event was a huge success. We are so grateful for all those that took time out of their busy schedule and come support us. We hope you all had fun and had a chance learn more about this documentary and meet some of the guys.

Special thanks to my producer Colleen for finding such a great venue and putting it all together; to my other producer and lovely wife Veronica; to Manny Lopez for emceeing the event; to our event photographers; The Pearl Hotel for letting us host this event there and to the rest of The Border Crime Task Force guys. And special thanks to Outside The Lens for supporting our event and documentary. They do great work with underprivileged kids. Check out their web site for more info. You all are incredible.

A brief rundown of the event went as follows:

People arrived and had some time to mingle, drink, eat and get to meet some of the guys. Manny Lopez (who was the leader of the task force) was the emcee. He started off by introducing all the task force members that were present and explaining what the purpose of the task force was all about. He then introduced myself, Veronica and Colleen. I said a few words and showed a couple of clips.

The first was the trailer for the documentary followed by a special tribute video I put together for Lt. Dick Snider who was the founder of The Border Crime Task Force. He past away on Dec 28 and was a very good man. Prior to his passing I had the opportunity to fly to Missouri to interview him. He meant a lot to all the guys. They saw the video for the first time and they were very touched by it. I was very happy with the way this short video came out and I hope I was able to convey what a great guy Lt. Snider was and how much he meant to a lot of people. You can see this video below.

Lt. Snider Tribute Video

The following morning we meet some of the guys for breakfast at The Studio Diner - which was a film studio converted into a restaurant. A very unique place.

And what did I have for breakfast? The "Gunslinger" of course. It was meant to be ; )

One more thing - in the Lt. Snider tribute video there is a shot of a sign that says "The Pearl" (see screenshot below). He was called that by his close friends. We ended up having this event at a hotel called "The Pearl." Total coincidence. I didn't realize this until Veronica pointed this out during the screening. I get goosebumps just thinking about it. I think he was watching all this from above : )

In memory of Lt. Dick Snider

I received the sad news that this morning Lt. Dick Snider (ret) passed away due to complications with cancer. He was the founder of BARF. I had the opportunity to interview him and his lovely wife, Judy, a few months ago for the documentary.

Our hearts go out to all his family and friends. I only wish he could of seen the completed documentary but I am so grateful to have met him. He was a great man and left a great impression on me.

My trip to Missouri

A few weeks ago I took a trip to Missouri and spent a day with Lt. Dick Snider (ret) and his lovely wife, Judy.

Dick was the originator of The Border Crime Task Force. He was the founder. If it wasn't for him the project never would of existed.

I spent the day interviewing him for the documentary. He is a great man and very brave. The stories he told me are incredible. His contributions to the history of law enforcement is just amazing.

Can't wait to see how his final interview comes out in the documentary.

Sheriff Kolender Retirement Party

Last night I had the privilege of attending a retirement party for the Sheriff of San Diego, Bill Kolender. He retires later this month. In 1976 Mr. Kolender was the Chief of Police of San Diego and he was the one who approved The Border Crime Task Force.

The majority of the task force members were present. It was great to see all the guys together in one location. The next time they all get together like this again will be at the movie premier for the documentary. Mark my words : )
