My extensive experience managing regional organizations, Billion-dollar budgets, leading hundreds of employees/first responders, developing master plans, capital programs, and sustaining infrastructure, gives me the expertise to be our next County Judge. I have many years of extensive experience in managing large regional organizations with Billion-dollar budgets, overseeing hundreds of employees
and first responders, and developing capital programs and sustaining infrastructure. I retired as a Navy Captain (O-6) and my career spanned 28 years in both the United States Marine Corps and the United States Navy. During my career, I commanded many units including a Navy Seabee Battalion and a Field Engineering Command. As a decorated combat veteran and Regional Engineer, I have been recognized with the Legion of Merit (x2), Bronze Star, Meritorious Service Medal (x3) and numerous other military awards. After a long and accomplished military career, I still have a desire to continue to give back to the country that offered me such extraordinary opportunities. Because of my desire for continued service, I provided leadership in the State Republican Executive Committee (SREC) for our Senate District 21 from 2022-2024. I am also a life member of several organizations including the NRA, the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and Navy Seabee Veterans of America (NSVA). I truly believe I can best serve the citizens of Wilson County and all of Texas as Our next County Judge. As a young man, I received a Bachelor of Science Undergraduate Degree ('91) and a Master of Engineering Degree ('01), both in Civil Engineering, from Texas A&M University. I later achieved an Executive Business Certification in Organizational Management from Stanford University ('14). In 2021, I was recognized as a Distinguished Graduate of the Texas A&M Zachry Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering. In May of that same year, I was awarded the title of Fellow in the Society of American Military Engineers for my exemplary servant leadership and outstanding work ethic.
