Dear Citizens of Goochland County,
 

I am running for re-election as Sheriff of Goochland County because of my commitment to serving and protecting the citizens of Goochland. As Sheriff, and throughout my 30 years of working in public safety in Goochland County, I have proven my commitment to our community, upholding the law, and preserving Goochland’s safety for our families. 

 

I am a lifelong resident of Goochland County.  I was born, raised, and educated in Goochland County.  My wife, Grace, and I are raising our daughter, Ellie, in Goochland.  My mother, 2 brothers, 2 sisters, and their families all live in Goochland. 
 

I have served my entire professional career in the Goochland County Sheriff's Office.  My commitment to God, my family, and the citizens of Goochland County has always been and will always remain my top priority.  
 

My experience, coupled with the commitment and expertise of the men and women of the Goochland County Sheriff’s Office, has resulted in the success of my leadership as Sheriff. For the next 4 years, I will build upon my proven and successful leadership as Sheriff and add to the remarkable accomplishments of the Goochland County Sheriff’s Office since I became Sheriff in January 2020.  

 

I remain committed to ensuring the Goochland County Sheriff's Office remains the very best law enforcement agency in the Commonwealth of Virginia as we serve the residents, visitors, businesses, and places of worship in Goochland County.  When I took office in January 2020, the Goochland County Sheriff’s Office adopted new mission and vision statements, along with brand new core values, which drive our work daily in our community.   
 

Serving as the Sheriff of Goochland County has been one of the greatest honors of my life.  I have been honored to serve my lifelong friends, colleagues, former schoolmates, fellow community members, and the countless people I meet daily as I serve our beautiful county.
 

While the last few years have presented the world and our nation with many challenges, this community came together and supported one another as Goochlanders always do.  That said, I would like to sincerely thank the entire Goochland community for your continued and steadfast support of the Goochland County Sheriff’s Office.  The support our deputies and dispatchers feel from our community is unlike any other community in Virginia, and we are so thankful.

​

I ask for your continued support and your vote on November 7, 2023!

 

Kindest Regards,
