MISSION STATEMENT
Equality Meets Opportunity
"There is no quality more indispensable than a perfect command of temper."
Throughout my life I have been blessed with the ability to adapt and to adjust to adverse environments. I honed these skills throughout my military and law enforcement careers.
I believe the same skill set are equally useful in the Polk County Commissioner's Office.
If I'm presented the opportunity, there will be no doubt that I will equally meet challenges with grace, humility, and honor.
