I’m not part of the political machine—and that’s exactly why I’m running.

I’m a self-funded candidate, and I don’t owe favors to insiders, special interests, or career politicians. I answer to one group only—the people of Vigo County.

For too long, we’ve seen politics as usual. Promises made, promises forgotten. That stops here.

As your Sheriff, I will restore this office to what it should be—common sense leadership, accountability, and service to the community. No agendas. No politics. Just doing the job the right way.

We need change. Real change.

And I’m ready to deliver it.

👉 If you’re tired of the same old system
👉 If you want leadership you can trust
👉 If you believe Vigo County deserves better

Cheeks is that change.

Let’s move Vigo County forward—together.

Remember Early Voting has started! Take a moment and read some of my experience and why I’m the most qualified candidate to be your next Sheriff!

⭐️EXPERIENCE MATTERS!⭐️

This is why I believe I am the most experienced and proven candidate to serve as Sheriff of Vigo County.

I bring over 30 years of dedicated law enforcement experience to this community. The majority of my career—27 years—has been spent in corrections, including 2 years with the State of Indiana prison system and 25½ years with the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

During my time in federal service, I worked in multiple departments and played a key role in inmate re-entry programming. That work focused on giving individuals the tools and opportunities to rebuild their lives, support their families, and return to society as productive citizens. I believe those same principles can be applied locally to strengthen Vigo County in a more personal and effective way.

I also served as a self-defense instructor and spent 10 years on the Special Operations Response Team (SORT), where I gained valuable experience in high-risk situations, leadership, and teamwork.

After becoming eligible for retirement, I was recruited by Sheriff John Plasse to join the Vigo County Sheriff’s Office as a Merit Deputy.

Since joining the Vigo County Sheriff’s Office in 2021, I have continued to serve with dedication and purpose. I have been honored to receive four Life Saving Awards and one Accommodation Award. I am a graduate of FBI SWAT School and currently serve as an entry team member on the Terre Haute SWAT Team, where I have been active for four years.

I also serve as the lead Defensive Tactics instructor for the Vigo County Sheriff’s Office. I am regularly called upon to assist the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy in training new officers, and I have developed my own training manual. Additionally, I have contributed to improving instructional techniques used by academy trainers.

I am a proud Army veteran, serving 4 years on active duty and 10 years in the Indiana National Guard, including two deployments. During my military service, I was also a member of the Army boxing team.

Beyond my professional career, I have always been committed to giving back to this community. I coached youth football for 20 years and wrestling for 2 years. I have served as a mentor in the Vigo County School Corporation’s TUFF program and with the 100 Men outreach program, helping guide young men toward strong and successful futures.

I am also a small business owner, operating Cheeks Martial Arts Academy, where I continue to teach discipline, confidence, and personal responsibility.

With a lifetime of service, leadership, and commitment to the people of Vigo County, I am ready to serve as your next Sheriff.
