Summary
Dedicated public servant who has worked as a firefighter, an EMT, and in law enforcement over the last decade of my life. I grew up in a first responder family, with my father still an active fire lieutenant, and both of my grandfathers retired either from the fire department or the Colorado State Patrol. Being a first responder is what I was born to do, and I am very dedicated to helping people, specifically within the criminal justice system. The things that are truly important to me are family, safety, honor, and fairness.
