I am a lifelong public servant, legal professional, and community leader dedicated to serving Benton County with integrity, transparency, and respect.

A Life of Service

My commitment to service began with a Navy ROTC scholarship at the University of Colorado, Boulder. I went on to serve 28 years in the United States Navy, including as a Surface Warfare Officer aboard the USS Mount Hood and later in the reserves, where I was mobilized to the Middle East in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

I retired with the rank of Commander, carrying with me a leadership philosophy grounded in accountability, discipline, and service to others.



Legal Experience & Leadership

I bring over 27 years of legal experience, including:

  • Civil litigation in private practice

  • Attorney for the California Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation

  • Administrative Law Judge with the Office of Administrative Hearings

  • Chief Counsel for a startup firm

Throughout my career, I have built a reputation for fairness, analytical thinking, and unwavering honesty. I believe that transparency is the foundation of public trust and that decisions should always be made in the open, with accountability to the people.

The second photo shows three people dressed in formal attire, smiling indoors; a woman with red hair, a man in a military uniform, and an elderly woman with gray hair wearing a white sweater. The third photo shows a woman with red hair in a blue shirt and black skirt squatting next to a man in a military uniform, both smiling outdoors on a wooden deck with bare trees in the background, and a brindle-coated dog on a leash.

Commitment to Northwest Arkansas

In 2020, my family and I moved to Northwest Arkansas for my wife’s career opportunity with Walmart. Since then, I have invested deeply in the community, founding the region’s only Navy Junior ROTC program in 2021, a program dedicated to developing the next generation of leaders.

My connection to Benton County is both personal and purposeful. I respect the traditions, values, and growth of this region and am committed to protecting its future.



A Leader You Can Trust

I believe leadership starts with listening. As your Justice of the Peace, I will bring experience, integrity, and a commitment to representing every resident with fairness and respect.
