I am a retired Peace Officer/Detective. I have served a multitude of assignments, including Patrol, Undercover Narcotics, Street Level Narcotics, U.S./Mexico Border Cartel Operations), multi-jurisdictional gang task force, counter-terrorism task force, and Intel Detective.
I have been an AZPOST-certified instructor, holding AZPOST certifications Law Enforcement Fitness Instructor. I also taught southwest gangs and Terrorisms classes.
After a 60-foot fall, I recovered and learned to adapt to my injuries. Throughout my career, I often dealt with significant injuries and worked through the recovery process, healing from 32 surgeries. I now teach Yoga to help others recover from injuries.
During my career, I was on the Critical Incident Stress Management team and was fortunate enough to be the benevolent fund president. I have mentored many young officers during my career and am still a mentor in retirement. I love to utilize the skills I learned from my training, experience, and determination to instruct, guide, and mentor active-duty Police Officers.
I love all water sports, hiking with my dogs, and cooking for friends and family in my free time. I live in Arizona, and you’ll find me outside most of the time.
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.
