I am an 11 year police officer and detective with 3 years of performance auditing experience for Seattle PD. I hold a B.S. in molecular biology from UW and am currently finishing my MBA in finance from WSU.
I personally manage an animal rescue and horse rescue/rehabilitation nonprofit with my wife in Tacoma.
- More balance for performance auditing
- Less partisan selectiveness of who gets audited
- Retrain and rehabilitate agencies with findings before punishment

Every job I do I want to accomplish one thing. Leave the job in a better condition than when I picked it up.
Oddly enough the first public tragedy I remember in detail was the Oklahoma City bombing when I was 8.
I have worked for four employers in my life. The first was Albertson's. I worked there from 16 to 21 years old.
