I am honored and excited to be a candidate for the office of vice president at large for the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP).

I have been an active member of this prestigious association since 1998 and still remember the first annual IACP conference I attended in Charlotte, North Carolina. I was a newly promoted captain at the time, and I was given the opportunity by Chief Marc Adams of Keizer, Oregon, to begin my international experience of training and networking with law enforcement leaders from all over the world. What an awesome experience it was then and continues to be in my career today as a chief of police for the city of Tualatin, Oregon.
