Why Law EnforcementThis is something I’ve wanted to do since my freshman year in highschool.  I did multiple ride-alongs with El Cajon Police department growing up.  In 2000 I moved to Arizona and was hired by the Arizona Department of Corrections. Then in 2004 Glendale Police Department hired me after I tested with them and several other departments in the valley.
First ArrestMy first arrest was a domestic violance case. When I look back on it, it was a simple husband and wife argruement over a phone call that the male half got while they had been drinking.  The male stated his wife got mad at him and she attempted to hit him so he pushed her away and she knocked over a potted plant.  The wife stated that when she confronted her husband over the phone call he became upset and pushed her.  With the information that was provided to me I arrested the male.
Now because this was my first arrest I was still in training so my biggest fear was screwing things up with my training officer watching.
Best part of the jobThe best part of the job is that I know we are making a difference in peoples lives each day.
HobbiesCamping with the family, playing softball, and watching baseball and football.
