United States Navy Reserve

Detective Sergeant

I have dedicated my career to public service through law enforcement, emergency management, and physical security, with over a decade of experience as a military police officer, civilian law enforcement officer, and emergency management training specialist. My work reflects a commitment to protecting communities, advancing preparedness, and mentoring the next generation of first responders. I actively volunteer as both a Freemason and a member of the Carlsbad Community Lion’s Club, engaging in a variety of service projects that support local families, youth programs, and community development initiatives. Through these organizations, I have participated in food drives, fundraising efforts, and community improvement projects, consistently seeking ways to give back and make a tangible difference in people’s lives. Combined with my professional dedication to public safety, my volunteer efforts demonstrate a holistic commitment to the well-being of our community. I believe that leadership is measured not only by performance on the job but also by the impact we have on those around us.
