As a lifelong medicolegal professional, I bring more than three decades of experience investigating deaths and serving communities with integrity and precision. As Chief Deputy Coroner for Ada County, I bring steady leadership and nationally recognized expertise, committed to delivering accurate, compassionate, and professional forensic services for families and the public. I have already implemented strategic operational improvements that strengthen the office and better serve Ada County. As a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars, I will ensure the Coroner’s Office continues to operate with excellence, transparency, and respect for those we serve. The Ada County Coroner’s Office will continue to fully staff the office with dedicated professionals who operate at the highest forensic level. In my off time, I enjoy traveling with my wife and spending time with our children and our five grandchildren.

When I step away for the field of medicolegal death investigation, I envision the Ada County Coroner’s Office as being a shining example of what a modern coroner’s office should be. My legacy would be one where the people of Ada County can count on receiving the very best in medicolegal death investigations by a coroner’s office that truly safeguards our community.

I am passionate about a coroner’s office that serves and protects the community at the highest level. While this effort is supported by taxpayer funds, the coroner should be dedicated to finding alternative revenue streams to ease the needs of the office. Additionally, The coroner's office must sustain independent medicolegal death investigations, free of influence from any other government institution.
