A seven year veteran with the Arlington Police Department in Arlington, Texas. He was appointed to the motorcycle division three months prior to his death. He was described as a devoted father and husband, and a fitness buff. He had a black belt in jujitsu and was an amateur wrestler and weightlifter.

A former field training officer, he helped train 12 to 15 recruits in a two-year span. He also was a member of the department's tactical unit.
