Ready from Day One

My law enforcement career started at the ground level — dispatcher, deputy, Military Police, Criminal Investigation Division, Special Agent in Charge, protective services. I supervised around 100 people and managed personnel, budgets, operations, and high-pressure decisions. That's what I bring to Warren County.

My Priorities Are Simple

Support the deputies. Strengthen investigations. Increase transparency. Serve every community fairly and consistently. That's the job of a Sheriff — and I'm ready to do it.

Deputy Retention Is a Public Safety Issue

In just four years, the Sheriff's Office has lost 57% of its deputies — most leaving for other local departments. That kind of turnover hurts morale, strains staffing, and impacts public safety. As Sheriff, I would work alongside my leadership team to honestly evaluate where the office is headed.

Transparency Matters

The people of Warren County should never feel like they're being kept in the dark about their Sheriff's Office. Accountability builds trust, and trust is something leadership has to earn every day. If I earn your vote, you'll always know where I stand.

Deputies Deserve Real Leadership

When deputies are supported, they can do their jobs the right way and serve this community as it should be served. Warren County comes first — including the people protecting it every day.

Experience Matters

Before joining the Warren County Sheriff's Office, I spent 20 years serving in the Army. Since coming to Warren County, I've worked in investigations, mentored deputies, and served in supervisory roles. This job shouldn't be political. It should be professional.

Budget Accountability

Five years ago, the Warren County Sheriff's Office operated with a budget of $8,521,000. In 2024, that budget reached $13,057,000 — an increase of more than $4.5 million. With that level of investment from taxpayers, the expectation is stronger staffing, improved retention, and modernized equipment.

Leadership Sets the Tone

Local reporting confirmed a former dispatcher filed a sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit involving the Warren County Sheriff's Office. Employees should never fear retaliation for speaking up. As Sheriff, I believe concerns should be handled professionally, fairly, and without retaliation.

Faith, Family, Service

I've spent 20 years in the military serving this country. I've been married 10 years. I'm a father of six. My faith comes first, then my family, then service to others. That's the order I live by — and the standard I'll bring as your next Warren County Sheriff.

Leadership Shouldn't Intimidate

At nearly every public meeting I attend, the Sheriff chooses to stand directly behind me. Leadership shouldn't rely on presence to make people uncomfortable speaking up. Deputies deserve leadership that supports them. The people of Warren County deserve leadership that answers to them.

Deputies Available Where They're Needed

In Warren County, deputies sometimes spend hours on mental health evaluation calls when other resources aren't available. When that happens, coverage changes across the county for everyone else on shift. As Sheriff, I want deputies available in Warren County neighborhoods when families need them.

Consistent Leadership

Deputies should know expectations are the same for everyone. Families should know decisions are made based on what's right. The community should be able to trust that leadership is steady, fair, and accountable. That kind of leadership comes from experience and integrity — not politics.

Doing What's Right

At the end of the day, this job isn't about politics. It's about doing what's right, even when it's not easy. That's how I've lived my life. That's how I've served. And that's how I'll lead.

Not a Whim

I didn't decide to run for Sheriff on a whim. I spent years learning what strong leadership looks like and where it matters most. I'm running because the Sheriff's Office needs steady, professional leadership focused on public safety, accountability, and trust. This campaign isn't about politics. It's about responsibility.

Support Is Growing

From Richardsville to Rockfield, Plano Road, Nashville Road, and neighborhoods throughout the county, people are stepping forward because they want steady leadership and strong public safety.

My Priorities as Your Warren County Sheriff

Support Deputies and All WCSO Employees. Strengthen Investigations. Increase Transparency. Serve Every Community in Warren County.

This Community Comes First

Warren County is worth investing in. So are the deputies who protect our families. Supporting Deputies. Serving Families.

Coverage Changes for the Rest of the Shift

When a deputy spends hours on a mental health call, coverage changes for everyone else in Warren County. That's a leadership problem — and I have a plan to fix it.

Patrol Coverage Matters

Deputies can spend hours waiting during mental health evaluations. That affects how quickly they can respond across Warren County. As Sheriff, I'll make sure deputies are where they're needed.

Support Is Growing Across Warren County

From Richardsville to Rockfield, Bowling Green to Plano Road — people across this county are stepping forward because they believe in steady leadership and strong public safety.

Deputies Should Be Serving Warren County First

When deputies are tied up on tasks that don't require their training, response times suffer. As Sheriff, I'll put deputies where they belong — protecting the communities of Warren County.

Transports to Western State Hospital Take About 2 Hours Round Trip

That's 2 hours a deputy is unavailable to respond to calls in Warren County. Smarter systems mean better patrol coverage for the people who need it.

Never Choose Between Speaking Up and Your Career

Employees should never have to choose between speaking up and protecting their careers. Strong leadership protects both.
