“I have often said that attending the FBI National Academy has been a career highlight; however, I can honestly say that was just the beginning of an experience that continues today. The experience I am referring to is the bond and relationship that I have continued with fellow graduates from both my home state and throughout our nation. I have had the opportunity to attend many of our Association’s Chapter President’s Meetings back at Quantico and have been honored to make even more friends in other chapters. This experience and past opportunities have allowed me to meet and work with many of the various chapters both in and out of Section III. I feel like my experience with our association helped me understand our needs. If elected to this position, I promise to work with each chapter and will be readily available to address any questions and concerns that may arise.”
