I graduated from Austin Peay State University with a Bachelor's in Criminal Justice. I worked with the Clarksville Police Department for 15 years where I held several different positions; Patrol Officer, Field Training Officer, Detective, Special Victim Unit Investigator, and Fatal Crash Investigator. I then moved to the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office where I worked as a School Resource Officer at Northeast High School. I switched to teaching Criminal Justice in the Spring of 2021.
