A VISION FOR JEFFERSON COUNTY
Citizens of Jefferson County, I stand before you as a candidate with a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of our community’s unique challenges. I served as a dedicated Jefferson County Deputy for 28 years, 19 of those years I served as a narcotics investigator, to include 18 years with the FBI Safe Streets Task Force. My career has been built on fostering strong, relationships based on trust, integrity, and a commitment to justice.
For a decade, I led the Narcotics Division, managing complex investigations at both local, state and federal levels. These experiences have equipped me with the leadership and problem-solving skills necessary to move our Sheriff’s Office forward.

Jefferson County deserves a Sheriff who prioritizes public safety, jail management, and the effective operation of our court system. We must refocus on these core responsibilities to restore faith in law enforcement and ensure every resident feels secure in their community.
