Roy Williams Foundation

Board Member

​

I grew up in a suburb outside of Louisville, Kentucky. Every male in my family has served in the military and I followed along turning down an athletic scholarship to college. 

​

• US Navy 1989-1993

• Gulf War Vet

​

1993-2014 Louisville Metro Police Department: ​

• Undercover Street Crimes Detective 

• Narcotics Sergeant 

• Commander Violent Crime Unit

• ATF gun task force

• US Marshals Task Force

​

• Founding Member of Peer Support Unit

​

CIT Certified (Crisis Intervention Team)

​

• Involved in multiple Critical Incidents (shootings, officer-involved deaths)

​

After getting injured in the Middle East, receiving disability, and then serving 21 years in the police department, I know what it's like to struggle with things that we have all seen during our times in service. I met Roy right when he moved to town and we became fast friends. Roy was a lot like me when I was younger. My sole reason for being part of this foundation is to help young men and women deal with issues and provide them hope.
