Current Activities / Involvement

I've been involved with the city for over 12 years. I've served on the Parks Board, as the district two commissioner, and as mayor of the city. I have served several years on my HOA board and have been involved in my church in various roles, recently serving as a trustee and elder.

Major Barriers

This is the first year I've had the opportunity to be more involved with things that occur during normal business hours due to my day job.

Participation Expectations

I want to meet people from across the county and understand Wilson County better. I want to learn more about the challenges we face across the county. I hope to gain a new perspective on how we can all work better together. I don't want to be another Mt. Juliet Mayor that views the county with a siloed view.
