Career
[edit]A native of Monroe County, Lawrence formerly served as an officer with the New York State Police before retiring to accept a nomination from President George W. Bush as a United States Marshal, in which he would serve from 2002 to 2010.[1] Lawrence also has served as a wrestling coach for SUNY Brockport, and as a board member for various other organizations.[2]
