Chapter Director Bio:

Central Illinois Chapter Director Dayton Loyd is one of the hardest working men in the PTC. Not only did Dayton recently celebrate the birth of his fourth child with his wife Danielle (also a chapter director for our Carbondale/Paducah Chapter) and continue his stellar work as one of the PTC's longest serving chapter directors for one of the biggest chapters in our ever growing network of 28 chapters across the country, but Dayton also holds down a very important job keeping us all safe, and not just from the violence on TV.

In his position with the Department of Homeland Security, Dayton is the Head of Military Intelligence and Communications for a five state region of Operation Noble Eagle, Homeland Security and as part of that role was in Washington DC during the Presidential Inauguration. Dayton was part of thousands of faceless Americans who worked to ensure that this event went off without any problems. Dayton, pictured while taking a break from his duties in front of the Capitol, also fit some other work into his brief downtime. Dayton was quoted in a PTC press release about concerning his local CBS affiliates decision to air an episode of "Without a Trace" on New Years Eve that had received over 7,000 complaints to the FCC after its first run. Dayton found time to conduct 4 interviews for radio and print media on the subject during inauguration week. Never to missing an opportunity to spread the word of the PTC, Dayton distributed PTC fliers and information to national law makers and to high traffic areas of the capitol during this busy week of festivities. Once the ceremony was complete officially beginning President Bush's second term Dayton's work was not done. Dayton describes his post-inauguration duties: "Once I was done in DC I drove 800 miles to Fort McCoy Wisconsin to greet and oversee the return of some very happy soldiers returning from Iraq, while on my trip I became snowed-in in Chicago and was trapped there for a day which really put me under the gun to get things done at McCoy. The preparation for the soldiers returning also included all the family members and media that showed up. In the middle of all this I was able to speak to each that requested an interview and I think each went well."
