| Why Law Enforcement | I am following my father and grandfather’s footsteps. I feel this was a calling for me to help others and give back to the community I grew up in. |
| First Arrest | The first arrest I can recall was a person driving a stolen car. I observed a car with no lights on at night and parked in the middle of a roadway in a high crime area. I ran the license plate and I received information the vehicle was stolen. I conducted a felony traffic stop with my partners and the driver was arrested for possessing a stolen vehicle. |
| Best part of the job | The best part of my job is helping children. I absolutely love helping kids who are in poor situations and getting them into better situations. Children love police officers and always express their interest in my career. I always make sure to give them stickers, let them sit in the police vehicle and press all the buttons to see all the “cool” lights. |
| Hobbies | I normally spend most of my time with my beautiful wife and two wonderful daughters. I do enjoy golfing whenever I am not busy with my children’s gymnastics and softball. |

| Why Law Enforcement | Ever since I was a kid I wanted to be in a job where I served my community. The first time I truly realized I wanted to be a Cop was in High School. I had some pretty good role models around that time and afterward that made me want to go into law enforcement. |
| First Arrest | My first memorable arrest, I was searching for a guy who fled a bar after assaulting someone. I located the suspect, and while moving in to detain him, he threw a haymaker at me then took off running. A foot pursuit ensued and I chased him about 100 yards before catching up to him and he started fighting again. Backup arrived, taser deployed, one in custody. |
| Best part of the job | I love the proactive side of Police work. Going out and searching for badguys, and getting to put them in jail. |
| Hobbies | I love the outdoors. I enjoy hunting, shooting, camping, golfing, etc. I also have a ’72 Chevelle in the garage that needs to get built one of these days. |
| Favorite Quote | I am a big fan of K-9s and love it when they are referred to as a “Fur Missile.” |
