      Biography

      I have served as a peace officer in Marshall County since 1991, first serving in the community of Gilman and joining the Marshall County Sheriff's Office in 1994 as a deputy sheriff assigned to patrol. I have held a number of positions including traffic safety & education officer; motorcycle officer, drug task force investigator and sergeant. I have been a trainer certified as an instructor in defensive tactics and striking instruments since 1997 and was appointed to serve as the agency's third-in-command as Chief Jailer in July, 2005; serving in that capacity through July, 2014 at which time I received the appointment as Chief Deputy. Upon assuming the agency role as second in-command, responsibilities include the area of field-services: patrol division, investigation division, civil division and transportation division, as well as other administrative duties for the agency.
