Endorsements

I am profoundly humbled and grateful to have received the endorsement of the Fraternal Order of Police following a comprehensive background check and interview process. This support is a testament to the transformative power of redemption and the unwavering belief in second chances.

As I received this honor, I couldn’t help but reflect on the irony of it all. The same institution that had once arrested me now supports me.  My life has come full circle since that fateful night, twenty-two years ago, when I made a reckless decision to once again drive intoxicated. The flashing blue lights were my final wake-up call as I was pulled over and arrested for a DUI.  When the police officer handcuffed me, it was at that moment I confronted the wreckage of my life and for the first time, vowed to get sober.  It was the beginning of a new chapter and the ensuing years have been a testament to redemption, as I’ve committed myself to serving my community and supporting those battling addiction.

I am eternally thankful to the Fraternal Order of Police for their trust and confidence in me. Together, we will work tirelessly to ensure the safety and well-being of Neptune Beach and its residents. It is my sincere hope to gain your trust and confidence and earn your vote come November 5th.
