Do you have skills or talents that people don’t know about?
I volunteer as a reserve police officer. I can be found at least a couple times a month working patrol, often serving a field training officer helping prepare the next generation of law enforcement.
What was your first job?
My first job was lifeguard and swim instructor.
What motivated you to select this career path?
I always relied on my pollster to help me whenever I was struggling with a tough decision. As I left committees and campaigns, I knew that I wanted to be a part of solving those problems and offering actionable insights.
Who is someone you admire?
Winston Churchill. “Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be.”
