A Lifetime of Service and Leadership

I am proud to have 37 years of dedicated service in law enforcement, including 29 years with the Jasper County Sheriff's Office. I have built a career grounded in commitment, leadership, and community engagement. During my tenure, I have proudly served as the D.A.R.E. Officer and was the first School Resource Officer for the Kankakee Valley School Corporation. I have held the ranks of Sergeant, Captain, and I am the current Chief Deputy.

Training and Mentorship

As a certified instructor through the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy, I have trained countless officers to ensure safety and excellence in their duties. My passion for education and hands-on leadership enables me to inspire and guide others while upholding the highest professional standards.

Boards, Committees, and Teams

I am actively involved in several boards and committees in Jasper County that focus on safety, justice, and community well-being:

• Community Corrections Advisory Board
• Child Fatality Team
• Drug Free of Jasper County
• Child Protection Team (CPT)
• Jasper County School Safety Commission

Vision for a Safer Jasper County

I believe in fostering transparency, accountability, and collaboration between law enforcement and the community. As your Sheriff, my priorities will be to enhance public safety, support the dedicated officers of Jasper County, and ensure every resident feels heard, respected, and secure.
