MY CAREER & EDUCATION

Decades of Specialized Training and Diverse Educational Background in Security and Law Enforcement

As a dedicated Deputy Sheriff and 1st Sergeant for over 20 years in the Washoe County Sheriff's Office, my experience spans across various disciplines within the law enforcement industry. In addition to managing crisis situations and emergency responses, I played a pivotal role in providing security and maintaining law and order.

During my tenure, I led the Detention Response Team, specialized in handling violent inmates, high risk inmates, and ensuring safe high-risk transports. Handling crowd control during riots and ensuring court security were also under my purview. I actively participated in the WCSO Detention Response Team (DRT) Academies, planning and executing the training programs from 2005 to 2015.

In the role of 1st Sergeant, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to serve as a Special Advisor to the Sheriff, reporting directly to him. This gave me a broader perspective of law enforcement administration and strategic planning.

Team Leader

Since April 2021, I've been working as a Team Leader in an undisclosed contract role. Balancing strategic and operational aspects, I ensure the team's optimal performance while maintaining high standards of security measures.

In November 2015, I joined Triumph Protection Group as a Security Professional, bringing my years of law enforcement experience into a new realm of private security. Here, I continue to ensure the safety and security of our clients and their assets.

I'm also proud to have served as the President of the Latino Peace Officers Association from 2002 to 2005, leading initiatives to foster positive relationships between law enforcement and the Latino community.

Earlier in my career, I honed my technical skills as a Journeyman Wireman (Master Electrician) with IBEW local 11 from 1985 to 2005. This period laid a strong foundation for my problem-solving abilities and attention to detail, skills that later proved invaluable in my law enforcement career. Even today, I continue to assist friends with their electrical needs.

Overall, my vast experience has shaped me into a comprehensive security professional with a unique blend of technical expertise and leadership skills.
