Summary

I come from a hands-on background in chimney repair, where I’ve built a strong work ethic, problem-solving skills, and the ability to perform under pressure. Recently, I’ve found a growing interest in public safety and investigative work. My goal is to begin as a civilian specialist in Johnson County, where I can apply my skills in organization, observation, and communication while learning the inner workings of law enforcement operations.

From there, I aspire to move into a deputy role and eventually specialize as a Crime Scene Investigator (CSI). I’m drawn to this career path because it combines service to the community with detailed, analytical work that directly contributes to justice. The opportunity to transition from trade work into a field where precision, reliability, and integrity make a lasting impact excites me, and I’m committed to pursuing the training and experience needed to reach that goal.
