I’m not an experienced politician; I don’t have a fancy website or fancy photos or many of the things that you usually see on these campaign websites. I'm someone who cares enough about our community to run for something and I’m asking you for your vote. If I am asking you for that, I should tell you about me and why I think I am worth your trust. 

I've worked in the technology industry for most my life. For many years I was a consultant who solved complex tech problems for big companies. After that I took a break to run my own company then finally moved here to Atlanta and joined my current employer of the last 10+ years.

Six years ago my wife Ashley and I decided to leave downtown Atlanta to find another home for our growing family. We already had a young daughter and Ashley was pregnant again. We cared about schools and quality of education and wanted open spaces and a caring community for our family. We found a home and area we loved in Cherokee County and despite our initial concerns about the long commute to work in Atlanta, I very quickly learned to appreciate the final stretches of my drive home on the slow roads between farms. Those quiet roads helped me to relax and put my day at work behind me and I still look forward to that drive home. Now our daughter is 7, our son is 6, and despite the constant construction and widening of Highway 20, I don’t regret our decision to move up here for a second. My love for Cherokee County and the people who live here has only grown.
