​Adding a little more flavor, I am the husband of one of the smartest people I know, my beautiful wife, Jen, a Public Health Advisor at CDC with two Master's degrees. My handsome son, Bryce, is a Freshman at Ole Miss (Hotty Toddy!) studying Business Management. Jen and I are also parents to three very spoiled rotten rescue dogs, Cooper the pittie, Hank Williams the Beagle, and Goldie the Red Heeler-Chihuahua mix! We are big into the rescue community in Atlanta, and animal advocacy is an issue very important to our family. ​I have been a resident and homeowner in Doraville for the past 13 years and a City Councilmember for the past 3 years. 

 

My service to Doraville started in 2014 as a Member of the Doraville Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) Board that approved the Tax Allocation District to redevelop the GM Plant with the Integral Group. After this, I served a two-year term on the Doraville Planning Commission where I was the Vice Chair, a leadership position for which I was nominated and elected by my fellow Commissioners. This role really spurred my passion for serving our City, and in November 2021 I was elected to City Council and have served ever since. 

​

My commitment to guiding Doraville’s growth with a measured, strategic approach is reflected in:

 

•    The hundreds of construction projects I've completed in my 20+ year career as a General Contractor and business owner

•    The nearly 100 proposals for our City that I considered and voted on in my former role as a Planning Commissioner, and

•    The Special Service Districts in Doraville I passed as a City Council Member ensuring that the costs of projects like road repairs and downtown redevelopment are carried by commercial properties, not residents.

​

Furthermore, my experience as a General Contractor has guided Doraville in saving hundreds of thousands of dollars on projects through value engineering and connecting the City with the right professionals for the job while ensuring all deals benefit Doraville. 

​

I am very passionate about the future of Doraville, and my overall goal is to bring out the great potential Doraville has to offer while preserving the diversity and culture. I truly believe that my civic leadership experience in Doraville coupled with my career experience renders me the right candidate for Doraville right now, and I hope you do too.
