About Me
Career and Education
I am a native of Rocky Mount, North Carolina and currently live in Fishers, Indiana with my wife and three boys. I began my career with the Durham (NC) Police Department in 2002. After moving to Indiana, I became an officer with the Fishers Police Department in 2008.
During my time in law enforcement, I have served in a variety of roles to include Field Training Officer, Evidence Technician, Honor Guard Coordinator, School Resource Officer, Hostage Negotiator, Traffic Crash Reconstructionist, and as a member of the Crisis Intervention Stress Management Team (CISM). I retired from law enforcement in 2020 and began my second career teaching Criminal Justice to high school students. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice (Summa Cum Laude) from East Carolina University, a Master's degree in Public Administration from Indiana State University, and I am currently pursuing a doctorate in Criminal Justice from Liberty University. It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed." Theodore Roosevelt |
