covert op


Bob Delaney, current NBA referee and former undercover police officer, is a good family friend and great American. I have the privilege of attending an event this evening in Columbus where Bob will be sharing his story and I couldn't be more excited!

I read his book, Covert, a few moths ago after he sent a copy to my dad and loved it. I seriously could not put it down. It's an incredible inside account of the dual life Bob led in his work as an undercover officer in the mob and the eventual reclaiming of his life to become an extremely successful NBA referee (not a job many would chose after putting serious criminals behind bars).

Great/inspirational read and an even better person.
