About Me

My family has resided in Germantown for the past 23 years. I recently retired from the United States Marshals Service where I served for 32 years, most recently as chief inspector in the Tactical Operations Division where I supervised other law enforcement officers throughout the central region of the United States.

I graduated from Arkansas State University in 1983 with an associate degree in the applied science of law enforcement and in 1985 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in criminology. I started my law enforcement career as a police officer in Jonesboro, Arkansas, which led to my career with the United States Marshals Service in Memphis. During my career I also served as the chief of the US Marshals Service Headquarters Office of Emergency Management, and I had the honor of being appointed by Attorney General Michael Mukasey to serve as the United States Marshal for the Northern District of Mississippi at Oxford in 2009 to 2010.
