Mission and Passion:
Teaching is one of the few ways to impact the future. As a retired law enforcement professional, my passion is to prepare and equip the next generation of professionals for service to their communities, agencies, and Christ. In this world of dynamic change, uncertainty and a need for well-educated leadership, it is both an honor and privilege to facilitate students desiring to answer this high call. It is my goal to teach and guide students that will be equipped to serve with excellence of skill, be professional in conduct, be compassionate in service, have integrity of character, and exemplary of the standards established in God’s Word.
