    Since retiring from active-duty service in the United States Marine Corps in 2016, I have continued to serve the noble profession of Law Enforcement through training our nations’ first responders, jail officers, investigators, and command staff-level leadership.  

    I am thankful to be part of Rolla Tech's Criminal Justice Program.  I provide training and instruction to high school juniors and seniors from Rolla and our sending schools on a wide range of introductory law enforcement and public service topic areas.  Our program is two-years long and provides students with hands-on experience designed to build practical employment skills and educational capability.

    With 20 years of law enforcement experience and great educational experiences along the way, I maintain a vast network of law enforcement leaders who are active in their communities and want to hire young Americans who are driven to excel in the criminal justice field.
