Summary
I am an experienced, self-motivated, and focused officer who takes pride in problem-solving and clear communication within the community. With three years of law enforcement experience, I welcome the opportunity to represent the department and continue serving with integrity. I'm committed to ongoing growth and improvement, even in the face of the challenges that come with this profession. I take genuine satisfaction in engaging with the community and helping fellow officers develop their skills. Though I've only have three years in law enforcement, I am eager to use them to advance and contribute positively to this department. I was born and raised in South Buffalo, New York, and have been married to my wife for more than eight years. Together we have two children, one boy and one girl. My faith, my family, and my drive to excel in my career are what keep me motivated and grounded every day.
