He would never have been allowed to carry the artist tools for Leonardo da Vinci or Michael Angelo. He would have never been allowed to turn a page for Beethoven or sharpen a pencil for Shakespeare. He has had training in the art of fencing, ceramics, photography, martial arts, writing, politics, and yoga. However, he does none of these well so he moves on and continues his search. This is Robert’s fourth book. His first two; Shut Up When You Talk to Me and Just Plain Stupid, are a collection of short but unbelievable true stories. His third book was a work of fiction based upon real events. Knights of the Forest tells the tale of a small band of boys growing up in simpler times during the 60s.
Robert D’Ambola served for over a quarter century in Law Enforcement fighting the never-ending battle for truth, justice, and the American way for a city police department. He holds a BA in Law/Justice from Glassboro State College (Rowan University), a Master’s Degree in Administrative Science from Fairleigh Dickinson University and graduated from the Northwestern University School of Police Staff & Command. Robert held many ranks in the Police Department including Detective Sergeant, Traffic Lieutenant, and finally Patrol Commander. He was assigned to the Union County Narcotics Strike Force and Union/Essex Auto Theft Task Force. The latter assignment was during the period when Newark, N.J. held the dubious honor of “Stolen Car Capital of the World.” Robert remains a Certified Police Training Commission Instructor and has taught at the John H. Stamler Police Academy for over 25 years, the last 20 as the Ethics instructor for all recruit classes.
After a weekend retirement, he became Chief of Security, Certified Business Continuity Professional & Emergency Planner for a global publishing company. His office was directly on the Hudson River waterfront with a front row seat of the New York skyline. It was here Robert was able to witness the “Miracle on the Hudson” when on January 15, 2009, US Airways jetliner, flight 1549 was forced down into the frigid Hudson River directly outside his office building.
Robert lived in Union County NJ for 60 years before moving to Hunterdon County. He married his High School sweetheart, Cindy, and they had 2.5 children. They owned a dog large enough to be classified as cattle. He is now blessed with two granddaughters, now in the terrifying threes, and a new grandson. He took up writing to leave these precious children real proof that their G-PA was a certified lunatic.voir moins
