I am  56 years old, and have been blessed with a lovely wife Cindy and 2 beautiful daughters Emily and Lillian. We have lived in Forsyth County for nearly 14 years and love it here!  We are Republican and have conservative values.  I am one of only two Candidates in the Commission District 5 race that have consistently voted Republican over the last 10 years.  We attend Cumming First United Methodist Church, are active in our community and each Wednesday,  I drive the bread and produce truck for the “Place”.

I am retired, allowing me to dedicate myself on a full time basis to YOU as your Commissioner.  I am the only Candidate in District 5 that is able to work for YOU on a full time basis. Until I retired, I enjoyed a  career which had been in technical sales support of voice, data and optical fiber switches. 

I was the Chairman of the SPLOST VI Transportation Selection Committee.  This Committee prioritized road projects to be completed with the use of SPLOST VI  funds.  Recently I have been active in working to prevent controversial zoning changes such as a major piece of property from Agricultural to Activity Center.

In preparation to serve YOU as your Commissioner, I have regularly attended the Commission Work Sessions and the Commission Meetings.  Being retired has allowed me the time to make the most of these opportunities to become familiar with the process, policy and procedures involved in serving YOU as a Forsyth County Commissioner.  Through these opportunities I have discovered the tremendous amount of time that is required by your elected Commissioners to work to maintain the quality of life we all enjoy in Forsyth County.  As our beautiful county continues to grow, the time that will be required of its Commissioners to maintain its tremendous appeal will continue to grow with it. 

My opinion of our current county government is that overall it is doing better than it ever has before. My experience in Forsyth County also shows there is still much that we are working towards to make even more improvements that will continue to enhance our quality of life.  I look forward to serving you as we face the challenging times ahead and the issues our county is facing.
