Today I had the privilege to talk with Kevin Quinter a Berks County police officer. In this episode we dive into all the aspects of being a cop. From working undercover, making arrest, breaking up drug deals, infiltrating prostitution rings. All the way to the not so fun paper work, the mental strain being a officer has on someone, the stigma around cops, and so much more. As you listen to Kevin tell his story you can quickly see he has a passion for getting children out of sex trafficking and into a better life. This led him to start the Berks County Sex Trafficking Task Force and he begin fighting this evil locally, nationally, and internationally.

On this episode of Just A Taste, I am stoked to have on Glenn Stoltzfus. Glenn is one of those guys that is just a blast to be around. He always in a good mood, always willing to joke around and have a good time. That's about what this episode is. He understands that life is serious, but also life is short and you can't take yourself too seriously. You need to make time to still do things you enjoy, pursue worthwhile relationships, and have fun while doing all of it. Although Glenn is the oldest guy that has been on the podcast, he's probably one of the youngest guys at heart. Hope you guys enjoy this episode.
