About Me

T. F. Stern
I am a retired City of Houston Police Officer having served 20 years as a patrol officer and also a retired self employed locksmith having served the Houston area for over 40 years. I'm married to my sweetheart. We met while working at the Astrodome; she was the popcorn girl and I was the soda boy, both working in the back areas during our high school years. We are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and have 3 grown children and four grand children. We now live in our piece of Paradise, otherwise called Buffalo, Texas.
