Summary

I am a passionate 4 year Officer with the Austin Police Department, currently on the David 500's patrol. I’ve maintained a passion for training and learning new skills since my early introduction in the U.S. Marine Corps where I served as both Section leader and Platoon Sgt. My diligent work ethic and passion for policing have helped me to achieve my greatest potential as an Officer thus far. I utilize every experience as an opportunity to learn or enhance my skills.
