yes that was the guy, what ever happened to that guy and show. He was pretty cool. He was like my scared straight program but it did not work for me at the time. But thats the guy. I am suprised you remembered that show!! This was like a talk type show to bad kids. It was not a scripted show. He was from NJ right?

I dont want to go into my rant on how I hate dealers, you know how I feel about them, I hate them, I would narc anyone of them out if found out !!

You found him. Funny I used to watch this as a little kid. What happened to him??????

Hey there was a cop I actually like!!!!!! This guy was good. We need more like him. The whole drug dealing scene has changed but the message is the same. We need more like him today.

When I was in high school during the mid 1990s, he gave an anti-drug assembly at my high school. A very powerful, emotional speaker, who's seen it all when it comes to crime and youth drug use.

Smile I know Dave Toma

All, Dave is my husband's uncle. He has never stopped working with people and trying to make the world healthier and happier. We actually worry about him 'cause he works so hard for others while often neglecting himself. Anyway, he's still a hero and still would do just about anything for a person in pain. He's amazing.
