Becoming a grandparent changes your perspective. As law enforcement officer and Chief of Police, I worked hard to keep our community safe. As a father and a husband, I was blessed to raise a family in Anderson County and watch my daughters have children of their own. Now, as a grandfather, I worry for the future that my grandchildren will have. My opportunity to make an impact for them and every child in Tennessee is now, and I don’t want to waste my time.
