with the added value of finally being home after many years away. I have spent my entire career
strengthening the organization from within and expanding transparency while building valuable
partnerships with stakeholders in different regions. The experience I have gained through the
years on the Northern and Southern border has allowed me to grow as a leader to work through
the everyday challenges that exists in our complex border environments,” said Chief Patrol

Sector and serving our communities with immense dedication, confidence, and pride.”
