PERSONAL STATEMENT
I am very proud to have been part of the law enforcement profession and the many great years I spent working for the Columbus Division of Police. It was an honor to be part of this organization and the dedicated men and women who serve within it at all ranks. Police officers have a great responsibility to the citizens to conduct themselves professionally and with integrity. As I led police officers and supervisors, I strived to be a leader whom they willingly followed based upon the example I set. I am constantly looking for ways to grow and challenge myself. For this reason, I am pursuing other leadership opportunities in the private sector. I believe my education, training and years of experience make me uniquely suited to make such a transition. I also believe the knowledge, management abilities and leadership skills I have developed throughout my career translate very well to pursuing other opportunities. My hope is that prospective employers will also see how invaluable my body of work would be to their organization(s) as well.
More importantly than my career however, is my family. I am a husband and father with a blended family. We have eight beautiful daughters and one teenage son. My ultimate responsibility and greatest work lies in how I provide and care for them.
