One of the things I tell my students – “You can’t gain experience without experiences”.

I have 30 years of law enforcement experience, 17 of which serving as a small town police chief. I carved out a niche working for tourist and resort destinations that present the additional challenge of widely increasing and decreasing diverse seasonal populations with high customer service expectations. I’ve been blessed to live and work in some of the most scenic and exciting locals in Washington and Alaska where most people dream of vacationing.

I have been certified as a police officer on the highest attainable level in both Washington and Alaska. I have attended the Northwest Law Enforcement Executive Command College and the by-invitation-only FBI National Academy in Quantico, VA.

I recently served as the Executive Director to the Alaska Police Standards Council. The Council certifies (and when necessary decertifies) all sworn, commissioned police, correctional and probation officers in the state. I also certified all law enforcement training and trainers in Alaska. This position is appointed and serves at the will of the Governor.

Educationally I have served as an Assistant Professor / Law Enforcement Program Manager at the University of Alaska Southeast, writing and creating new classes and recruiting students for a brand new, first-time-offered criminal justice degree. I also served as a full time faculty member and director of the criminal justice program at Clatsop Community College in Astoria, Oregon where I was able to update and expand their program. Over the last dozen years I have taught criminal justice, public administration and general education classes online or on campus, full or part-time for several public and private colleges in all four Western states.

At 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载 I have strived to teach above our core required classes. I have added depth and breadth with new elective and upper division courses, and I serve as the Social Sciences department chair.

I enjoy sitting on either side of the desk in the ivory towers of higher education as both a career student and educator. I have an earned Bachelor’s Degree in Community Studies from the Evergreen State College; a liberal arts degree emphasizing research, problem solving, decision-making, politics, and planning for the needs and well-being of communities. My Master’s Degree in Justice Administration from the University of Alaska is a sibling degree to their well-established public administration program. My master’s thesis on the tenure and turnover of small town police chiefs focused on the achievement, impediments and various pathways to success.

I believe deeply in community service. I have worked on or chaired numerous volunteer boards and committees. I have actively worked my way to President-elect for three different Rotary International clubs – always moving on to a new opportunity in a new town before getting to sit in the big chair. I am a Paul Harris Fellow.

I discovered my love of Nevada and the high desert while living inside Yosemite National Park (where I managed the patrol/investigations division of the security department for three years) and exploring the Eastern Sierra’s and Nevada on my time off. I look forward to exploring ghost towns, old mining camps, hot springs… and a more than occasional geezer rock or country music concerts at the surrounding venues!
