| Why Law Enforcement | After leaving the Army I graduated with a BA in Criminal Justice. It was a job I have always been interested in and felt my military training and education would be useful in Policing. |
| What was your first arrest and how did it go? Tell us the story. | My first arrest was for possession of methamphetamine. The arrest resulted from a bicycle stop. The suspect dropped the methamphetamine as I approached him and eventually admitted it was his. |
| Best part of the job | Being able to positively impact the community I grew up in and help the citizens of Fontana. |
| Hobbies | I enjoy watching and attending any USC football games I can. My wife and I share our love of the team and enjoy going to campus whenever we can. |
