Service First The Sheriff’s Office exists to serve the community through community-focused policing and support deputies. Experience Matters Leadership should be earned through real-world experience that reflects our core values. Accountability To the public, to staff, and to the profession. Support for Law Enforcement Standing up for deputies while maintaining high standards aligned with our leadership vision. Community-Focused Policing Strong relationships build safer communities.
I’m running for Sauk County Sheriff because public safety matters—and strong leadership matters just as much. This job isn’t about titles or ambition; it’s about showing up, doing the work, and making the right decisions when it counts. It’s about leading deputies who face real challenges every day and ensuring they receive the support, training, and guidance they deserve through a leadership vision grounded in our core values.
I believe our Sheriff’s Office should be focused on community-focused policing, grounded in professionalism, accountability, and transparency. The people of Sauk County deserve to know their law enforcement is held to a high standard—and that trust is earned through consistent action.
Sauk County is home. I grew up here and care deeply about these communities and the people in them. I’m committed to protecting that way of life and ensuring our county remains a safe place to live, work, and raise a family.
Leadership should be earned through experience, not ambition. I’m running to serve, to lead with integrity, and to do the job the right way.
