He is a retired Salt Lake City police officer where, among other assignments, he worked as a detective with the Crisis Intervention Team (CIT), a hostage negotiator, and a peer support team leader. He is the first person in the state of Utah to have confidential privilege under the law as a peer counselor following an officer-involved critical incident (OICI) and has responded to more OICIs for the purpose of wellness than anyone in the state. He has trained crisis workers on the state’s suicide crisis hotline and first responders throughout Utah, Nevada, and Idaho.
