AWARDS

True leadership isn’t just about the titles held, but the impact made along the way. Over the course of decades of dedicated service, I have been humbled to receive recognition from my peers, community organizations, and the Department for a commitment to integrity and public safety. These accolades are more than just plaques on a wall; they represent the successful community partnerships we’ve built and the lives we’ve worked to protect. In addition to awards, Paul and I have exceeded the hours of mandatory Minnesota Law Enforcement Officer continuing education required by the state. As you look through these moments, I hope you see a proven track record of transparency and veteran experience, the very foundation we intend to use to build a safer Winona County together.
