About Me

In March of 2022, I retired from the Grand Junction Police Department after serving the community of Grand Junction as a law enforcement officer for almost seventeen years. During that time, I functioned as a Patrol Officer, Detective, Street Crimes Unit Officer, SWAT Officer, Defensive & Patrol Tactics Instructor, Corporal, and Field Training Officer. It was a privilege to work with the outstanding men and women of the Grand Junction Police Department while helping to ensure the safety of my community.

I was born and raised in the Front Range of Colorado, riding horses, playing sports, and learning the family business of cattle feeding. I attended Colorado State University, earning my bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Business. While at CSU, I met my wonderful wife, Summer. We were married in 1996 and have three amazing daughters, now ages 23, 21, and 18. Our oldest has graduated from CSU, and our middle and youngest attend CSU! Go, Rams!

Prior to becoming a police officer, I worked as a commodity trader (Chicago, Memphis, and Washington State) and as a benefits (insurance/investment) specialist for companies across Colorado.

When not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, including a few German Shepherds. We love the Grand Mesa and spend time there when we can. My girls are all musicians, so marching band and school concerts also play a big part in what we do in our free time.

I have a passion for residential real estate developed over the past 20+ years of owning/managing our pet-friendly rental properties. I'm thankful for what I've learned in this arena and love taking great care of my customers/tenants. 

I’m currently exploring new ways to serve our community and learning more about the fantastic people who serve in the non-profits of the Grand Valley. I’m also an aspiring peach farmer, hoping to develop a beautiful orchard in the years ahead.
