Fowler and his wife, Ellen have three children, Olivia, a Wawasee High School student; Charlie, a Wawasee Middle School student; and Mackenzie, who attends Lighthouse Autism Center/North Webster Elementary.

Fowler graduated from Lake Central High School in 2005 before attending Trine University to play football. In 2009 he graduated from Trine with a bachelors degree in criminal justice.

He was hired by the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office in 2010 as a road deputy and was promoted to corporal in 2017. In 2019 he was promoted to detective sergeant, which is his current role.

“My wife and I love the Wawasee community and felt this was the best area to raise our family. In 2018 I became a board member of the Wawasee Community Summer League, and then in 2021 I took over the role as commissioner. I have been extremely invested in our youth through sports and I’ve enjoyed it tremendously,” said Fowler.

“Since 2018, I have coached multiple Wawasee softball teams, Wawasee Peewee Football, and Wawasee 14u baseball. In 2023 I created K-County Kraken Softball as a feeder program for the Wawasee high school softball program. This year we added K-County Kraken Baseball as a feeder program for Wawasee high school baseball.  Now I would like to take it a step further and do my part in making sure all of our students are getting the very best,” added Fowler.
