"We are living in a time of constant change. Global events, shifting social dynamics, and rapid advances in technology are reshaping how communities function and how institutions are expected to serve the public. In moments like this, leadership cannot afford to be static, cautious, or rooted in “the way it’s always been done.” - Dave Carver, Conservative Republican candidate for Sheriff of Hancock County

Today, we’re talking about something no one else in this race can: I’m the only veteran running for Sheriff.
Not just a veteran on paper. A United States Air Force Security Police Specialist who served in the 1980s—when the Cold War wasn’t history, it was today. When standing post meant guarding nuclear assets, protecting aircrews, and knowing that one lapse in judgment could cost lives.

Today we are stripping back the badge to - the man beneath it.

Today, we’re diving into one of the toughest assignments in policing: domestic violence investigations. I’ll share a personal story from my career that shaped my approach to justice and community care—a story about breaking new ground as the first male Domestic Violence Investigator for the city of Indianapolis. Buckle up, because this is about grit, compassion, and building something from nothing.
