Al and his family moved to Cape Coral 2 ½ years ago from Wyoming.  He has a wonderful wife, Erica, who serves our community as a police officer with the Cape Coral Police Department. Their nine year old daughter, Karmen, plays soccer for the U10 girls Cape Coral Cyclones team.  She enjoys art and playing the piano.  And their son Garett is 6 years old, who also plays soccer and loves rollerblading and swimming.   Their family also includes two dogs, Dash who is an Australian Shepard/Lab, and Tootsie who is a Dachshund / Chihuahua mix.

Al was a police officer prior to moving to Cape Coral, serving 10 years with the Laramie Police Department in Laramie, WY.  He received a Medal of Commendation and was a 3 year recipient of the Governor’s Award for DUI enforcement.  He served as a Patrol Sergeant and as an instructor in Defensive Tactics, Close Quarters Battle, Taser, and RIPP restraints.  Al was also a member of the Special Response Team (SRT) and is REID Interviewing and Interrogation Certified. 

When Al and the family moved to Cape Coral, he was ready for a new adventure.  He is now a Financial Advisor with the Nolte Wealth Management Group of Wells Fargo Advisors.*

Al is an active member with the Rotary Club of Cape Coral, an Allocation Team member and Keel Club member of the United Way of Lee County.  He’s also involved with the Cape Coral New Residents Club and an active member of Cape Christian Fellowship Church.

Interesting tidbit about Al:  he did theatre in college and acted in “Diary of Anne Frank,” “Guys and Dolls” and at least a half a dozen other performances. 

The Rich family loves being part of a community with a wonderful mix of retirees and families.  One of their favorite activities, when not on the soccer field, is going to the beach and having dinner at the Boathouse Restaurant at the Yacht Club.

Thank you Al for being one of Cape Coral’s Hometown Heroes!  We appreciate all you have done and still do to serve our community.
