Transparency
An honest look, from day one
We start with a full forensic audit of the sheriff's office. Then we share what we find with you. The people of this county deserve to know how their office is run. No secrets.

Hero image/images/hero.jpgExperience that matters
When it's your family, you want someone who has been there
Picture the worst day. Someone you love, your child, your grandchild, a parent, is the victim of a crime.
Who do you want leading that investigation?
Someone who has actually worked cases like yours. Thefts. Burglaries. Assaults. Crimes against children. The hard ones nobody wants to talk about.
I've spent 31 years working those cases. That's the difference between someone who knows this job and someone still learning it on your family's time.
My promise to Gibson County
Three words I'll live by: TAP
Transparency. Accountability. Professionalism. Simple to say. Harder to do. I'll do it every single day.
Accountability
We own it and we fix it
We set a clear baseline on day one. When we get something wrong, we say so, out loud, and we make it right. That's how you build trust back.
Professionalism
Training like never before
Deputies who look, act, and serve like the professionals you deserve. The more the team trains, the better it serves. I've seen it work.
We can raise the bar
I know we can do better, because I've helped do it
These are the most recent numbers we have for Gibson County. They tell me we have a lot of room to grow.
6%State average is around 40%
of burglaries solved in Gibson County.
12%Around 94% in Weakley County, where I worked
of assaults solved in Gibson County.
I'm not sharing this to point fingers. I'm sharing it because I know what's possible. I've helped get numbers like these where they ought to be before. When you elect me, we'll do it here too.
