ABOUT ME
I have been a resident of Janesville my whole life. A proud graduate of Parker High School in 1991, I got my start owning and operating a local lawn service company. Later, I joined the Marine Corp Reserve and got my Police Science degree from Blackhawk Technical College. ​​In 1995, I became a Corrections Officer with the Rock County Sheriff's Office where I worked for 22 years and assisted in the training of over 100 officers. ​​I was employed as a part time police officer for the Village of Orfordville for 9 years, while I was serving at the Sheriff's Office.
In 2017, I was hired to the Janesville Police Department where I work today. One of more unique experiences of my job was my work on the Homeless Outreach Team. This leadership experience has given me a position as a board member of an area homeless shelter. I have also had the opportunity to work with the Crisis Intervention Team, having experienced the hard work of the professionals of the mental health field.
​​
These and other experiences have shaped me as a person and a leader. Working in this service-oriented environment has given me insight into how people live and the issues they face each day. I see firsthand how our state laws effect our citizens and if elected, I will use this experience to listen and legislate on your behalf. I am ready to go to work for you.

MY PRIORITIES
ADDRESSING RISING COSTS AND STRENGTHENING OUR WORKFORCE: With the cost of living on the rise, we must make every effort to ensure you keep more of your hard-earned money and push back against efforts to raise your taxes. The State's budget is hard-earned money from the hard-working citizen, so it should reflect the needs and views of the people. A stronger economy starts with a strong workforce. With employers across our area begging for employees, it is crucial that we strengthen training opportunities to grow our state's workforce. I will support strengthening our apprenticeship programs to help people find great careers to support their families.
SAFE COMMUNITIES: As a law enforcement officer, I work every day to keep our communities safe. Unfortunately, soft-on-crime policies have left the door open for criminals. Violent offenders are arrested and released right back into the community. I have heard and witnessed firsthand the concerns of our citizens. As your representative in the Assembly, I will work to strengthen our laws to hold criminals accountable and keep violent offenders off our streets. I have been endorsed as a candidate by more than one source. The one which is most meaningful to me is the endorsement of the Wisconsin Professional Police Association (WPPA). I am proud to have worked alongside these professionals!
EMPOWERING PARENTS AND PUTTING KIDS FIRST: Ensuring our children have the opportunity for a great education is a top priority. That's why I support reforms to give parents more information, transparency, and options when it comes to their child's education. I will always push for policies that truly put our kids first. School safety and supporting those who teach our children is also very important.
