I am from West Virginia and served in the U.S. Army as a member of the Old Guard at Arlington National Cemetery. I lived in Florida before settling here in Roanoke, where I met my wife Tammy and her two boys, Noah and Evan. I have a degree from Liberty University in Interdisciplinary Studies.

I retired from the Roanoke Police Department as a Lieutenant after serving there for 23 years.

I enjoy golfing, camping with my family, riding my motorcycle, bicycling, watching sports, and a short-distance triathlon from time to time.

If you have a personal life's mission statement, what is it? 

My mission statement for life focuses on friends, family, and service to others. I want our home to be a place filled with love and support, where we laugh a lot and grow together. Making others happy is a big part of who I am, whether it’s through small gestures or lending a hand when someone needs it. Being a Christian is important to me, and I try to show that in how I live. I’m not perfect, and I’ve made mistakes, but I’m learning from them and trying to be a better person because of them. I hope others can see my journey, and I can share a thing or two I’ve learned along the way. Overall, I want to live a life that shows kindness, faith, and love, leaving a positive mark on the people around me.
