Summary

I am a motivated and dependable officer with over twenty years experience in firearms, tactics, and instruction. I have the desire to constantly improve myself and see myself as a continual student. I have the ability to perform and instruct on these topics with a high level of credibility within the department. I have used my training in these areas in several high risk environments and have always succeeded. I enjoy instructing and helping improve other officers on the topics of firearms and tactics. I believe these are the most important skills and topics in which to train due to the life and death nature and high level of subsequent litigation.
