Biography
My law enforcement career began in 1997 as a state trooper with the South Carolina Highway Patrol. In 2001, I was assigned to the DEA Task Force. I began my USPO career in 2005 in the pretrial unit. From 2009 until the present, I have been with the supervision unit and currently serve as the Drug Aftercare Treatment Specialist. One of the primary duties for the DATS position is being the Drug Court coordinator. I am a member of the Safety and Firearms team and serve as search coordinator. In 2014, I was appointed to the Federal Probation and Pretrial Officers Association as the Legislative Liaison (2014 – present). In 2020, I was awarded the District of South Carolina’s Chiefs’ Award for Excellence, the Alston Wilkes Federal Probation Officer of the Year.
I have been a long-time member and board member of FPPOA. As a board member, I have had the opportunity to meet so many people and learn a lot about our system. As a board member, we have worked endless hours to represent the concerns of the officers and oversee the many changes that have occurred doing my time on the board.
In seeking the Vice President role, my primary goal is membership and the safety of our officers. Throughout my career, I have participated as a firearm and safety instructor. We have some of the best training/trainers at the National Training Academy. I would like to continue our great relationship with Academy to ensure the officers are receiving the best training in the country. Remember, we are the only organization that represents you the officer.
