Biography:

I began my career  with Laurens County Sheriff's Department.  I was initially hired as a jailer.  I went on to the Police Academy and became a Deputy Sheriff.  I worked with the Sheriff's Department for three years.  From there I went to Laurens City Police Department where I worked as a Patrol Officer for two years, before coming to Simpsonville Police Department in August of 1990.  I have been promoted from the rank of Officer to Captain and finally to the rank of Chief of Police.  As a Captain I oversaw all Patrol Division as well as Investigations.  I also preformed other Administrative Duties. These duties vary from budget development to implementing other programs.

It was a great honor to be promoted to the rank of Chief of Police on May 23, 2000. It has long been a goal of mine to obtain the rank of Chief.   Since being promoted I have initiated several programs that I am extremely proud of.  The program that I am most proud of is BOOKS AND BADGES. This program puts Police Officers in Schools reading to our children. It also teaches them about safety. I think it's very important that all children learn to read and receive an education.  Another program that I have implemented is the BICYCLE PATROL.  This is also a first for Simpsonville.  The Bicycle Patrol allows Officers to interact closely with our citizens.  It also allows Officers access to areas not easily obtained in a marked Patrol Car.  This program allows our citizens to become more familiar with our Officers.
