About

I have been a lifetime resident of Washington County. I am a family man and have been married to my wife, Kathryn, for twenty-seven years. We have two wonderful teenage daughters. We enjoy boating, mountain biking, and snowboarding in beautiful southern Utah.

I have been a member of the Republican Party since the age of eighteen. I value the party’s beliefs and I feel like now, more then ever, our united voices need to be heard. I have served in local law enforcement for twentyfive years, with the last twenty-two years at the Washington County Sheriff ’s Office. As Sheriff Pulsipher's undersheriff, I supervise over one hundred and seventy employees. I have significant experience with common constitutional issues. Specifically, our First Amendment freedom of speech and religious freedoms, our Second Amendment right to bear arms, our Fourth Amendment dealing with search and seizure, and our Fifth Amendment right to due process and self incrimination. I am a strong supporter of limited government and valuing the rights and freedoms of US citizens. Recently, I worked with Utah House Representative Walt Brooks in support of a new Bill to allow law abiding citizens to carry concealed weapons without a Concealed Carry Weapons permit.

During my law enforcement career, I have repeatedly sworn an oath to support, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Utah State Constitution. I will only support candidates for office that fight for our fundamental rights, small government, and our conservative values.

As an employee of the Washington County Sheriff's Office and a citizen of our county, I have participated in Leadership Dixie and am a member of the Washington County Fair Board. I have volunteered for the Ironman, the Hunstman Senior Games, the St. George Marathon and many more community events. I have also presented and trained on law enforcement topics to both church and community groups which include Chambers of Commerce, Rotary Clubs, young men and women groups, and the Washington County Republican Women. Earlier this year, I was elected as a Utah Republican Party State Central Committee member. I am also a delegate for the Washington County Republican Party County Central Committee.

As a Washington County Republican Party County Central Committee delegate, I ask you for your support and vote to become your next elected sheriff.
