Family: Wife Charity, Director on OneHeart. We met in Rapid City and have been married for 26 years. Daughter Sierra, graduate of School of Mines and currently working in Rapid City for Blue Peak, Son Alec is a junior at U of Nebraska-Lincoln for cello performance.
Education: Chemical Engineering degree from School of Mines.
Background: I worked as an engineer in Bloomington, MN for 12 years before we decided we wanted out of the big city, bad weather of Minnesota, and mosquitoes. We picked the place we wanted to be vs a job that would take us wherever, so we chose Rapid City. I decided to become a police officer because it is more people/service oriented and also because I wanted to work with youth and knew about the School Liaison program. We took a leap of faith in 2007 and moved here before I had my final offer with the RCPD. It worked out.
My career in the RCPD:
- 3 years on patrol
- 7 years working in the schools (1 year at SWMS and 6 at Central High School)
- 18 months as a patrol Sergeant
- 18 months as Juvenile Operations Sergeant
- 12 months as patrol Lieutenant
- 18 months as Community Engagement Lieutenant
- Other duties:
- Peer Support Team member
- Physical Fitness Team member
- Participated in CHI (Collective Healing)
- Participated in Community Advisory Committee
Among other things.
The majority of my career, in one way or another, has been focused on working with youth. In my current position I oversee the Quality of Life Unit, the Youth Outreach Team and the overall Community Engagement Team, which includes Jamie Kirsch and Tyler Read.
