Prior to beginning my career in law enforcement I attended OSU-OKC in Oklahoma City. I started my career in law enforcement in 1994 with the Fort Smith Police Department, in Fort Smith AR. I completed the Arkansas Law Enforcement Training Academy (ALETA). While working for the Fort Smith Police Department, I served as a Patrol Officer, SWAT Officer, Community Policing Officer and on the Honor Guard.

I returned to Oklahoma City, where I was born and raised. I have served my community as an Oklahoma City Police Officer, since 2000.

​Throughout my career I have spent hundreds of hours training with other law enforcement trainers from Federal, State, City agencies and private sector instructors. I began teaching in the private sector in 2005 and continue to teach law enforcement, security professionals, responsible armed citizens.

There are many individuals and events which help shape a person. I am fortunate to have accomplished many things. I would not be the person I am today without the support of my wife Maria, our two children and my family and friends. Many instructors and their assistants are responsible for my knowledge, experience and skill. It is with honor and respect I recognize their endless patience and effort. Without them, I would not be the instructor I am today. Thank You!​​  ​​​
