I grew up on a farm in the Glennville community in southern Russell County.  I graduated from Lakeside School in Eufaula and went to college at Clemson University where I earned a bachelor’s degree in agriculture and minored in business.  

For the past 17 years, I have worked in the oil, gas and energy industries as a Professional Landman.  I co-own and operate two small businesses.  

As a small business owner, I understand the importance of managing money and resources to maximize success, and I want to use this expertise to ensure the county is investing its’ money and resources in District 7.  

This district is the largest in size and the most rural which means it requires strong representation on the Commission.  Over the years, I have watched the south end of the county change, and I will be an advocate for improvements to our district because I believe we can accomplish so much more.

If elected, there are 5 areas that I would like to focus on:

1. Being accessible to all residents in District 7 by listening to concerns and helping solve problems. 
2. Ensuring the county is investing money and resources in District 7. 
3. Supporting the County Engineering Department to ensure the roads and right-of-ways are being maintained. 
4. Supporting all of the Volunteer Fire Departments in securing resources for training and recruitment because they are a vital part of our rural community. 
5. Working with each small community in District 7 on business development. 

Thank you,
