What attracted you to living/working in Hamilton County?
My parents moved to Westfield when I was 6 years old. Attended Our Lady of Mount Camel grade school, graduated from Westfield High School, began a career in law enforcement at the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department. Being in public service it was easy to recognize the quality of life that Hamilton County provided. Met my future wife, a Hamilton Southeastern graduate, married the following spring. Bought a house in Westfield to raise a family.
The proximity to Indianapolis made it possible to continue my education at the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) campus and eventually earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Indiana University.
Hamilton County was the perfect setting for a new family to start a life, raise children in a great school environment, and enjoy the neighborhood culture alive in Hamilton County.
