As the Executive Director of the Integrated Public Safety Commission (IPSC), I am honored to lead the strategic mission of enhancing public safety communications and infrastructure. My career has been defined by a commitment to serving those who protect our communities, a journey that led to my appointment as Executive Director by the Governor in August 2024.

With over a decade of experience within IPSC, I have a deep-rooted understanding of our organization’s operational and technical architecture. Prior to IPSC I served as the 911 Executive Director of Johnson County Public Safety Communications and have over 20 years experience in public safety. This career has path has given me a unique perspective on how to best support our first responders across all levels of government.

I am passionate about organizational excellence, commitment to our core values, and ensuring that our public safety professionals have the tools and training they need to succeed in high-stakes environments.
