SALUTE<br />

to First Responders<br />

Why did you decide to be a detective?<br />

Being a detective was just part of the plan. I knew it would help<br />

me advance and expand my knowledge in my career.<br />

How long have you been with the Brandon Police Department?<br />

I have been with the Brandon Police Department for eight years.<br />

I started in 2015 when I was just 19 years old as an inmate<br />

supervisor. Currently, I serve as the sergeant of investigations.<br />

Tell us about your family.<br />

I have large family with lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins. I also<br />

have four siblings - three brothers and one sister. And of course,<br />

I have a 10-year-old fur child named Beau.<br />

What is the toughest thing you have experienced in your job?<br />

You see a lot of terrible things in this line of work. I’d say for me<br />

it’s tough to see a child/children suffer the consequences of their<br />

parent’s actions.<br />

Share some things you enjoy doing in your spare time.<br />

I like to be outside, whether it is something productive or just<br />

hanging out with friends and family.<br />

What are three things on your bucket list?<br />

I really don’t have an extravagant bucket list. I have a few places<br />

I’d like to visit, like Montana and Boston. But other than that, I<br />

just want to be successful in everything I do and live life happy.<br />
