I grew up in Western Pennsylvania and graduated from Ambridge Area High School in 1989. Upon graduation, I entered a six-year commitment to the US Army as a Combat Medic with the 5th Infantry Division’s 705th combat search and rescue platoon. After being honorably discharged, I continued my career in law enforcement and eventually relocated to Collier County. I joined the Collier County Sheriff’s Office, where I spent the next 20 years until I retired. My wife, Lauren Maxwell, and I have six children together and one grandbaby whom I enjoy spending time with. I look forward to continuing working for the people of Collier County as the Commissioner of District 4.
