Bio
The Army provided me the opportunity to excel as a young man. I served through two enlistments one as a 15E and the other as a 71L. I was deployed during Desert Storm. I moved on to serve the people of WV as I began a career in corrections. I began as an officer, and have worked my way through the ranks to my current position as unit manager. I enjoy working with my staff and the inmates.
