My Story
I currently serve as the Division Chief of Technology and Logistics for Vernon Township Fire Department (VTFD) in Hancock County, Indiana. In this role, I bring over 15 years of technology and cybersecurity expertise along with over 18 years of fire and emergency medical services experience to serve one of Indiana’s fastest-growing communities.
At VTFD, I lead initiatives to implement innovative technology solutions, strengthen operational response capabilities, and ensure the department is secure, efficient, and prepared for the challenges of modern public safety. My responsibilities include strategic technology and logistics planning, procurement, resource lifecycle management, and the department’s drone program. I also serve as a department fire inspector, investigator, and safety officer, and have served as Interim Fire Marshal, prioritizing the safety and well-being of our team and the community.
Prior to joining VTFD full-time, I was the Director of Emerging Technology for the State of Indiana’s Integrated Public Safety Commission (IPSC). In this role, I served as the state’s expert on emerging public safety communications technologies, partnering with local, state, and federal agencies to implement solutions connecting land mobile radio systems with broadband networks, including Motorola’s SmartConnect. I also served as the agency’s internal IT and cybersecurity director and chief liaison with the Indiana Office of Technology (IOT).
Prior to transitioning to public safety technology, I held senior roles in IT, cybersecurity, and compliance across various industries, including a healthcare venture accelerator/studio, hospitality technology/software as a service, healthcare IT, automotive remarketing, and cybersecurity consulting. Across these roles, I built teams and programs, developed organizational strategies, and worked with executive stakeholders to turn priorities into practical capabilities.
By bridging my experience in technology and cybersecurity leadership with my passion for public safety, I’ve developed a unique ability to integrate advanced systems with real-world emergency operations. Whether driving innovation in enterprise environments or enhancing first responder readiness through technology, my focus has always been on enabling people, processes, and technology to work together toward a safer, more resilient future.
