I am running for Sheriff of McCulloch County and am looking forward to providing new leadership to all the citizens of the county. I would appreciate your support. I retired as a Lieutenant from the Dallas Police Department in 2006 after 30 years. I have 32 years of law enforcement experience and more supervisory and administrative experience than anyone running.

I supervised the Mounted Unit, Canine Unit, and Explosives Ordnance Unit. I supervised four squads in the SWAT Unit responsible for barricaded persons, crowd control, and worked with the Secret Service on Presidential visits. I also supervised the Central Investigative Unit working on thefts, burglaries, and individual robberies. I also have experience in the Communications and the Report Division.
As a sergeant, I worked in the Communications Division and Central Patrol.
All of these positions required supervision of officers, administrative duties, and budget preparation.
