After serving in the US Coast Guard, I moved to central Oregon with the goal of working for the Sheriff's Office. My wife Rachel, of 23+ years, and I have raised two great kids, Kaitlyn and Graysen, and have two dogs, Sage and Ember, and a young granddaughter. We all enjoy central Oregon's outdoors.
