Statement
When it comes to protecting our community, experience matters. From enlisting in the Army at 18, to working in corrections, to 23+ years with the sheriff’s office, I have amassed skills and knowledge in leadership and county law enforcement operations.  This experience provides me with in-depth understanding of our agency operations at both the patrol and administration level, making me uniquely qualified to lead our office - keeping our community safe and supporting the people doing the job. I was part of the team who led the FCSO into full accreditation, and have overseen the implementation of continuous, focused training for deputies. Partnering with the city of Mesa, I upgraded the Mesa sub-station office, and served as the first Mesa community liaison deputy. I handled organization and recruitment for the Bi-county Sheriff’s Posse, and created their policies and procedures. Mental health and addiction are huge issues in our community, and I am proud to be part of the group who helped bring about the new behavioral health center.  I’m running for Sheriff to bring steady leadership, support those who serve, and continue building trust with our community. This campaign is about character, community, commitment, and a lifetime of service.
