Personal Biography
Since I joined the United States Army at the age of 17, I have built a life in public service.
After serving in West Germany during the height of the Cold War and then on through the end of the Gulf War, I went on to work in both municipal law enforcement and state regulatory enforcement in the fields of education and medicine.
I have been a youth religious education teacher in my church and a leader in the Explorer Scouts. I have also coached my children’s basketball, football and baseball teams as well.
Due to the severity of the injuries I received while in the service, I was forced to retire several years ago and became a stay-at-home dad to my youngest, a now 14 year-old son. Though being a disabled vet has challenged me physically, I strive to continue to find new ways to stay involved and make our community better.
