I was born and raised in the Dallas area, with deep family roots in Marshall and Navasota, Texas. Growing up, my parents and older brother were my heroes. My father, a dedicated law enforcement officer, inspired me through his leadership and steady rise through the ranks, while my mother served our community as an employee of Dallas ISD. Their commitment to service shaped my desire from an early age to follow in their footsteps and dedicate my life to helping others. My family relocated to California for a time before returning to North Texas, where I attended Desoto East Junior High, Reed Junior High, and ultimately graduated from Duncanville High School. I continued my education at the University of North Texas in Denton, earning a degree in Criminal Justice to pursue my lifelong calling in law enforcement. While at UNT, I was honored to participate in the Dr. Emmet J. Conrad Internship Program, sponsored by Senator Royce West. Through that program, I gained valuable experience with Texas DPS, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Parole Board, and the Dallas Police Department. After graduation, I began my career as a parole officer with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, supervising high-risk offenders and supporting rehabilitation efforts. Soon after, I was encouraged to pursue a career as a police officer, and I joined the Plano Police Department. I proudly took the oath to protect and serve and have worked as both a patrol officer and a school resource officer. My greatest fulfillment comes from building relationships with the community, mentoring youth, and participating in mental health officer trainings. Among the many commendations I’ve received, the one that means the most to me is when I was able to safely talk an individual out of taking their own life during a mental health crisis. Of all the roles I’ve held, being a father is by far the most important. My daughter, now a freshman at the University of North Texas, and my 11-year-old son inspire me every day to lead by example. I encourage them to follow their dreams—and with their support, I am following mine by running for Re-Elect Constable of Precinct 4.
