In addition to being the Chief of this department, I am a member of the Bedford County Special Operations Command (SOC) Est. 2003. This team consists of members from various agencies throughout the county. These members perform special duties such as, Collapse, Ropes, Urban Search and Rescue, Trench, Swiftwater, Hazmat, Confined Space.

As my paid profession, I am a Concrete Superintendent with Counts & Dobyns Construction. I have worked in the concrete industry for over twelve years.

I would not be able to do all of this without the support and love of my wife of nearly ten years, Krista and my two wonderful boys, Ty and Wyatt.
