Quakenbush holds a master’s degree in business administration from Indiana Wesleyan University with an undergraduate degree in business management. He says he chose law enforcement over his corporate career because of his passion to set an example by helping others in need, treating everyone with respect and putting others first.
For the past 17 years, Sheriff Quakenbush has been serving Hamilton County and moving up the leadership ranks within the Sheriff’s Office. He started his career as a dispatcher in the department’s communication division. He became a merit deputy in 2003 and was promoted to sergeant in 2007 before being promoted in 2011 to Captain of the Patrol Division. He was elected to serve as Sheriff of Hamilton County and began in the role in January 2019.
