Well, first off, I would like to say that it is a privilege and an honor to be able to serve the Great City of Bastrop and its citizens.

I grew up in Massachusetts. I graduated from Whitman-Hanson Regional High School in June of 1998. I served in the Army for 7 years stationed at Ft. Hood, Texas with the 1st Cavalry Division 1st Battalion 12th Cavalry Regiment. I was a M1A2 (SEP) Tank Commander. I served in Bosnia during Operation Joint Gorge March 1999-October 1999 and Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom 2 March, 2004-March 2005.

I was awarded the Bronze Star for my actions in combat. I was a Police Officer in Massachusetts for the Oak Bluffs Police Department on Martha's Vineyard. I graduated from the CAPCOG Regional Training Academy in March 2007.
