SALUTE
to First Responders
What made you decide to work
in law enforcement?
I had friends and family that were in law enforcement that loved
what they did for a living and they encouraged me to get into the
field.
How long have you been with the
Madison County Sheriff’s Department?
I’ve been with the sheriff’s department since January of 2000
and in law enforcement since April of 1994.
Tell us about your family.
I’m married to my wife, Tonya. We have four boys (Stephen,
Tyler, Kyle and Tanner). I have one daughter-in-law (Mary)
and one grandson (Lane) with a granddaughter on the way.
What is the toughest thing you have experienced
in your job?
Probably the toughest thing I’ve experienced is watching one of
my co-workers be injured or killed. I’ve seen them being shot and
watched them die of injuries and that is something that stays in
your mind and heart forever.
Share some things you enjoy doing
in your spare time.
I love the outdoors. Fishing and hunting are my thing.
My wife and I enjoy doing both of those together and
we love going to athletic events.
