I was born and raised in Washington State. I have been a fully commissioned Law Enforcement officer since 1999. Throughout my career, I have worked in Patrol, as an FTO, Patrol Sergeant, Crisis Negotiator, SWAT Commander, Major Crimes Sergeant, Union President, and Patrol Lieutenant. I also currently serve as my agency’s Peer Support Coordinator. I am also a certified FBI National Academy Associates trainer for Officer Wellness and Resiliency.
I have had my share of struggles over those years from on-the-job injuries to on and off the job trauma and have come out the other side intact.
My goal for coaching is to use my experiences to provide you with an unbiased, realistic, and confidential perspective to help you move from where you are to where you want to be.
Success is a moving target and is defined by the individual. I will collaborate with you to find what works for you – meeting you where you are at. After that, it’s a matter of establishing a roadmap that I’ll help you stick to.
Performance, happiness, success – none of it is one dimensional. We all know if things get out of balance; our sleep, our health, our focus – other aspects of our life suffer as well. In our industry, we are problem solvers. We are the helpers. But when it comes to our own lives; our performance, our career advancement, our happiness, and work/life balance – who helps us? That’s where coaching comes in.
The Law Enforcement Coaching program is a game-changer for any police department looking to improve their community engagement. It helped me to realize how my behavior impacts those around me, allowing me to improve my interactions with citizens and contribute to a better atmosphere in my city.
The Law Enforcement Coaching program provided me with a new outlook on my job. It changed my perception of what it means to be a law enforcement officer and has helped me to make significant improvements in my communication skills, leadership ability, and overall performance. It's a program that truly invests in its officers.
