" I was born in Rolla, I grew up on my family’s farm where my dad raised race horses, I went to tons of barrel races and standard track races. I attended Laquey School from kindergarten to my graduation in 2005, in 2006 I left home to attend Mineral Area College for Fire Science Technology. In 2008 I accepted a position with the Saint Robert Fire Department as a fulltime Firefighter. This allowed me to come home to be closer to my dad who was sick at the time. In 2014 I married my wife Kimberly and we have four children together. in august of 2013 I went through the Missouri Sheriffs association academy. In March 2015 I left the fire department to begin my law enforcement career with the Pulaski County Sheriff Office. In November of 2018 I left the sheriff’s office to work for the City of Waynesville as an Officer with the Waynesville Police Department. I stayed with the city until October of this year. My family has been a part of the area's communities since the establishment of the county primarily in the Waynesville, Crocker, and Richland areas. I am looking forward to the opportunities this position will afford myself in being able to help and guild the students and ready them for the challenges of life. "
