I graduated the Jefferson College Law Enforcement Academy in 2007 and began my career at the Herculaneum Police Department. I started as a patrolman before being promoted to the rank of Corporal in 2012 and began serving as the department’s evidence custodian. Between 2012 and 2013 I was transferred to the detective bureau. When I took over the detective role, I began serving on the Major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis.  In 2013 I was promoted to the rank of Sergeant until 2017 when I became a commander and was promoted to the rank of Captain. While serving the role as Captain, I also graduated from the Missouri Police Chief’s Command College in 2018. In January 2021, I became the Chief of Police. I have been married for 12 years and together we have six children. We love to travel whether it’s the beach or to Green Bay in the fall.
