Nick Nguyen, an alumnus of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, has graduated with top honors from the Harris County, Texas Sheriff’s Office training academy.

Nguyen was among 44 new deputies joining the ranks of the Houston-area law enforcement agency on April 9, 2019.

Recognized for his marksmanship skills, the U.S. Army veteran was named ‘Top Gun’ of Class B2 2018.

In addition to his duties as a deputy, he will also serve in the sheriff’s office honor guard, which provides representation at funerals for retired and active duty personnel and makes appearances at parades and other public functions.

Nguyen initiated into Northwestern State University’s Beta Omicron Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi in 2010.

His pledge brother Chris Voinche, a Louisiana state trooper, attended the graduation to show support.
