About Us

I am a retired State Trooper and Sergeant with the Ohio State Highway Patrol, bringing over 15 years of frontline and supervisory law enforcement experience, combined with a proud background as a U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Sergeant and Desert Storm veteran. My career has been built on service, leadership, and a commitment to integrity, training, and public safety.

From 1991 to 2006, I served the State of Ohio in multiple capacities—first as a Trooper, then as a Sergeant—where I enforced Ohio Revised Code statutes, investigated criminal activity, led patrol operations, and ensured officer performance and readiness. I’ve handled everything from crash response and evidence collection to post inspections and officer development.

As a prior Ohio Peace Officer Training Instructor, I’ve trained and mentored law enforcement personnel in critical topics like ethics, scene control, emergency response, and public interaction. My leadership style is hands-on, accountability-focused, and rooted in decades of real-world experience.
