Additional Information

I have completed hundreds of hours of P.O.S.T. certified training. My career motto has always been, "I work for the people" and I believe my past decisions will reflect that belief. In my position as a Chief, I managed a department of 20sworn and 4 non-sworn personnel with a budget of approximately $1,000,000.00. In addition to law enforcement and taking over as Chief for the Ball Police Department, in 2023 myself and my wife started our K9 business and continue to work and use K9's because it is just "fun."
