However, my goal was never to just “lock ‘em up and throw away the key.”

I wanted people to see law enforcement as I do – that law enforcement officers aren’t the enemy.

Instead, I built relationships within the community.

I became a mentor and an educator, and offered a safe space for those in crisis. I helped addicts get clean, helped victims find safety, and helped those who were on paths filled with poor decisions realize that there were better options.

I have given countless hours to both the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office and to a multitude of nonprofit organizations throughout the County.

I aim to be a true servant leader who has always led by example.

These are just a few of the reasons I have touched so many lives throughout my career at PBSO and through my involvement with so many philanthropic organizations.
