Outhouse to the White House

By most accounts, I have had a very successful career.

I have been blessed with the opportunity to not only serve as a police officer, but also to lead our country's largest police department.

Beyond that, I remain the only law enforcement person to have ever served in the cabinet of the president. In addition, I have had a very rewarding career in academia as a professor, lecturer and department head. All of my accomplishments were surpassed when I was given the opportunity to serve as mayor of Houston, the fourth largest city in the United States.
