My journey began here in Canyon County, where my career as a prosecutor took its first steps. Over the past decade, I've prosecuted thousands of cases, ranging from drug trafficking to child sexual abuse to murders.
After taking more than fifty of those cases to a jury trial verdict (more than many lawyers will do in an entire career), I learned the value of justice and the importance of standing up for those who have been wronged.
I even served as the Adams County Prosecutor for six years, where I continued to fight for justice, provided legal advice, and represented our county commissioners in civil litigation matters.
In 2004-2005, I deployed to Iraq with the 116th Brigade Combat Team of the Idaho Army National Guard. Leading a team in a combat zone, I understood what it truly means to serve and protect.
It's this combination of experiences, both in combat and in the courtroom, that’s shaped my approach to prosecuting.
