Their marriage has been blessed over the years with three beautiful and healthy sons (of reasonable intelligence) who continue to keep them busy and on their toes.
After graduating from high school, Jim joined the Fairfax County Police Department as a cadet in 1979. Jim spent two years in the Coast Guard Reserves in the first years of the marriage. Barbara works as a legal assistant at Blankingship & Keith, a law firm in Fairfax. She has been there since 1990, working part-time since the birth of their third son, Nicholas in 2005.
The bulk of Jim’s career years were spent working for the Fairfax County Police Department. He served as a patrol officer in the Falls Church area for the early years; was one the first bicycle officers; a Field Training Officer for new cadets; and served as a detective in several areas of investigations before settling into teaching for seven years at the Criminal Justice Academy. In November of 2006 Jim retired after 27 years of service and the very next day began his second career teaching Criminal Justice at the Marshall High School in Falls Church. In 2005 Jim completed a four year program by the Education for Parish Service Program (EPS) at Trinity College in Washington, D.C.
Over the years Jim has and continues to serve the Church as follows: Fifth Grade CCD Teacher; Eucharistic Minister during mass and serves by regularly taking the Holy Eucharist to a local elder care facility; Head Usher for Saturday night mass (Danny gets the credit for bringing him on board here as he was invited to become the youngest usher at our Church two weeks before his 8th birthday and has served ever since); and is a member of the Knights of Columbus.
