ABOUT ME
I was born and
raised in unincorporated St. Charles County, Missouri. My childhood consisted
primarily of church, school, and Boy Scouts. I earned the coveted
Eagle
Scout just before graduating high school in 1994. I went immediately
from high school to
Lindenwood University where I met my wife and
graduated four years later with a Bachelors of Arts in Criminal Justice and a
Bachelors of Arts in Religion. I then went to the
Eastern Missouri Law Enforcement Training Academy where I became a
certified police officer. I was a police officer with the small city of
Foristell, Missouri for three years when I married my wife, Olivia, on October
14, 2000. I then landed a good job with the
Boeing
Company in Uniformed Security Services. I currently work as an
Information Systems Security Officer with Government Computing Security. Boeing has
great pay and good benefits—especially in regards to education. While
working for Boeing, I completed
my Master of Arts in Management and Leadership in December of 2005 at
Webster
University in St. Louis, Missouri and my Master of Business
Administration in January of 2008 at
Columbia Southern University. Since I can’t stand being outside
of public law enforcement, I also work part-time as a police officer for the
rural town of
New Melle, Missouri. I am also a First
Aid/CPR/AED instructor for the
American Red Cross and a
PPCI
certified Oleoresin Capsicum Aerosol Training (OCAT) instructor. Finally, my wife and I
celebrated the birth of our son,
Tristan, on May 31, 2006
and the birth of our daughter, Josephine, on December 23, 2008!
