About Your Sheriff:
I am a lifelong resident of Marion County and am proud of my roots in our communities. I am married to Kacie Shinn and we have 2 children, Cole and Keatyn. Kacie is also a lifelong resident of Marion County and a graduate from Columbia College with a B.S. in Business Management. I have been a Law Enforcement Officer in Marion County for the past 23 years and have served the people in many different capacities. I take pride in being your Sheriff and am very proud of this honor that you have given to me. The one objective that I strive for every day is to serve the people, all the people with dignity, respect, and honesty. I believe that I am the people’s Sheriff and I make myself available to the citizens no matter what the issue at hand is, big or small. I can’t solve all the problems in Marion County but I do believe that with the positive help from the citizens within our county, we can make a difference. If I can be of assistance to you, please don’t hesitate to contact me and I will certainly do my best. Again, thank you for this honor of being your Sheriff of Marion County.
