Ruben Benjamin Whittington was born and raised in Norristown, Pennsylvania. At the age of seventeen, he enlisted
in the U.S. Air Force. During his enlistment, he spent a one year tour of duty in Vietnam as
part of the U.S. build up during that
war. He began his law enforcement career with the Norristown, Pennsylvania Police Department for four years before he moved to Los Angeles and joined
the Los Angeles Police Department. He worked for LAPD for 21 years and retired at the rank of sergeant. Ruben also joined the California
Army National Guard and the California Air National Guard. Ruben taught law enforcement for seven years to high school students at Los Altos and Workman High Schools under the direction of
the La Puente Valley ROP. Today, Ruben is a franchise owner for Mr. Handyman, a national handyman franchise. Ruben has published
one novel, Soldier: Behind the Badge.
His fictional novel tells the story of the dual
life of an American special agent, like that of James Bond, who disguises himself as a police officer and fights crime on the busy and dangerous streets of Los Angeles.
Then, when his country needs him, his true identity is revealed and he becomes a secret CIA special agent in this action-packed
novel set in today's treacherous and volatile world. For fun, Lance Kessler is a Los Angeles Police Department police officer; but his real profession is being a top-notch freelance agent for the CIA. He's the best the CIA has. But now Lance has crossed
paths with a secret worldwide criminal organization known only as PHANTOM, and PHANTOM has decided that Lance needs to be eliminated.
