I began my law enforcement career with the Bozeman Police Department in July 1990.  I have served our community as a patrol officer, detective, Sergeant, Operations Deputy Chief and Investigations Deputy Chief.  I have served as a DARE Instructor and have worked with the School Safety Program (K-5) in the Bozeman Public Schools.  I have also been a member of the City/County tactical team and a department instructor for Use of Force, firearms, Pepper Spray and Taser.  I became Assistant Chief at MSU in September 2009 and appreciate the opportunity to continue to work in our community and with the members of the university community as well as this fine department and our partner law enforcement agencies.  Outside of work, I enjoy the many recreational activities offered in the Bozeman area with golf, camping, skiing and ice hockey being some of my preferred activities with my family. 

I came to Montana in 2003 after a tour in the U.S. Army Infantry.  My major while attending MSU is in history.  I have been with MSU Police for seven years and my current position is Patrol Sergeant. I am also a firearms instructor and law enforcement bicycle patrol  instructor. In my spare time I enjoy bow hunting, fly fishing, and reading.

I am a native of Virginia, but Montana has been my home for nearly ten years now. I began working for the department in 2000 in the Parking Services division. In 2004 I applied for a sworn position and was lucky to be offered a position. I hold several law enforcement instructor certifications and thoroughly enjoy teaching and learning new skills. In 2009 I was promoted to Sergeant. My hobbies include mountain biking, scuba diving, fishing and metal working.

I am a native of Seattle and have lived in Montana for nearly ten years. My major while attending MSU is in History/Education. I served in the U.S. Army as an Infantryman. Concerning my law enforcement experience, I have served over three years as a Deputy Sheriff in Gallatin County and am approaching nearly four years of service as an MSU Police Officer. I am currently assigned to the patrol division as a Patrol Sergeant. Furthermore, I am a certified fire/arson investigator, bike patrol officer, and ethics instructor. Away from work I enjoy hunting, outdoor activities, and camping with my wife and young son.

I am a 10 year veteran of the MSU police department with a combined 15 years law enforcement experience. As senior patrol sergeant I am also a Field Training Officer, Defensive Tactics, and Taser Instructor in addition to patrol duties. I began my law enforcement career in Lafayette, Louisiana where I worked for the University of Louisiana PD and Lafayette City Police. Outside of Law Enforcement I have served two tours in Iraq with the Montana National Guard.

Outside of the department I am an avid hunter, angler, and writer.

I came to Montana State University to earn a degree after completing my enlistment in the US Army.  I graduated in Justice Studies and enjoyed working on ranches in the region throughout college and afterwards.  While working as a Deputy Sheriff in Sweet Grass County I built a respectable herd of cattle and horses.  It is an honor to have been hired to be an MSU Police Officer, serving and protecting in this great community.  In my off time you may find me on the back of a horse working cows or dragging calves.

I am a 26 year law enforcement veteran and hold a Bachelor of Arts degree.  I worked 25 years with the Bozeman Police Department where I served as a Detective, Field Training Officer, Taser Instructor and Motorcycle Officer.  I retired from there in 2010 to join the Montana State University Police Department.  I joined the Adopt-a-Cop program immediately because I believe in the concept of promoting positive relationships between the police and students.  I am still a Taser Instructor and enjoy teaching.  In my off hours I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, camping, sports, movies and working with youth.  I look forward to many more years of service with the University Police.
