My first full time employment was with the City of Cleveland as an Emergency Medical Technician with EMS.  During this time I met a variety of people with great careers, but none as noble as the police officers with whom I came in contact.

Through these contacts I discovered that police officers are one of our community’s greatest assets.  Not only do they provide security, but they are dedicated, caring individuals that genuinely love to come to the aid of others.

As a seventeen year veteran of the Cleveland Police Department, I have enjoyed a career that offers absolute diversity.  I have worked as a mounted police officer, bicycle police officer, beat patrol officer, aviation unit officer, as well as under-cover operations and basic patrol to name a few positions.

In every point of my career, I always remember that I am one of the community’s greatest assets, and that I am dedicated to providing security and aid to its members.
