Restore trust in Washington County government.

I’m a fourth-generation resident of Washington County, raised in West Fork and grounded in the values of hard work, humility, and doing right by others. Public service runs deep in my family, and my faith continues to shape how I lead: with integrity, accountability, and respect for every person I serve.

I graduated from West Fork High School, earned a bachelor’s degree in Organizational Management from John Brown University, and a master’s in Operations Management from the University of Arkansas. I also completed two of the most respected executive leadership programs in public safety, the FBI National Academy and the Police Executive Research Forum’s SMIP.

I’ve served in local government for over two decades, working through real challenges, not theory. In June 2026, I retired as a division captain with the Fayetteville Police Department, capping 21 years in law enforcement, the last 18 with the department. I led internal affairs, training, recruitment, and national accreditation. I’ve overseen budgets, built cross-agency teams, developed innovative programs like the Crisis Intervention Response Team, and secured competitive grants to strengthen our services.

I also served as a volunteer firefighter with the Wheeler Fire Department for over seven years. I saw firsthand the importance of rural emergency response and how deeply our county depends on the people who show up daily to keep things running. I’d be honored to earn your vote on November 3.
