| First Arrest | It was on my second call ever in training and the charge was Domestic Abuse Battery. I was nervous as hell, but I got through it. |
| Best part of the job | Helping others is part of it, but I would be lying if I didn’t say the action. |
| Hobbies | Bowhunting deer, duck hunting, fishing, camping, taxidermy, and spending time with my family. |
