During my almost 19 years with the Charlotte County Sheriff’s office I have enjoyed each and every job assignment. I wouldn’t change even one because they have made me the deputy I am today. My position in Community Policing is by far my favorite because the people I work with. We all share the same goal of trying improve Charlotte County for each and every person to enjoy. I am able to spend time with local government officials, community groups and the public in general which is extremely inspiring. I am always amazed to see how caring and supportive members of our community are to the Deputies that serve them. They not only support us but their volunteerism, generosity and compassion for those in need is where my inspiration comes from. I feel blessed to live, work and play in one of the most amazing places in Florida.
