Value: Connect with youth

Connecting with youth is an essential part of building relationships between law enforcement and the community. I am dedicated to the fundamental principles that a great education and positive relationships last a life time. Spending a significant amount of time with our youth and educators has given me a renewed hope for our future. However, I realize that true community relationships also need to be developed after normal work hours. If elected Sheriff of Ramsey County, I will continue to find ways to connect with youth. Each opportunity, whether it is in my neighborhood or abroad, helps me to become a better husband, father, teacher, coach, and law enforcement officer.
