About Momcilo

An American Story

Born in Serbia, Momcilo came to the United States at the age of 17. From the moment he arrived, he recognized that he needed to serve the country that welcomed him with open arms.

His military service and law enforcement career are not just jobs—they are acts of service and gratitude to the nation that gave him opportunity. Momcilo lived the American Dream the right way, and he's dedicated his life to protecting it.

Momcilo is living proof that those who come to America through the right channels and commit to its values can achieve anything. He strongly supports legal immigration—but stands firm against illegal immigration. Our borders must be secure, and that requires cooperation between federal and local law enforcement. As Sheriff, Momcilo will ensure Williams County does its part.

You won't confuse him with anyone else.
