BLAKE ADAIR
Summary
Born and raised in Tahlequah, OK. I attended Sequoyah High School where I graduated with honors in 2011. Upon graduation I enlisted in the U.S. Army and deployed to Afghanistan where I built my foundation of teamwork, dedication to duty, attention to detail, and selfless service. Honorably discharged from the Army in 2014 and decided to pursue a career in law enforcement. Graduated at the top of my class in the St. Tammany Parish Sheriffs P.O.S.T Academy and enjoyed my time in a community policing role where I gained a lot of experience and insight into the intricacies of law enforcement as well as local, state, and federal laws. In 2020 I decided to pursue a career in Drafting where I developed experience and knowledge in both architectural and electrical drafting. I pride myself in being a father, husband, combat veteran, and my Cherokee heritage.
