Tell us why you would like to serve in a leadership position at the League. In particular, specify goals you would like to accomplish as an officer or board member and indicate how, if attained, they will help to achieve Vision 2030 – the League’s future vision of how cities and towns will operate in 2030?
As a newly appointed member of the board I have had a limited amount of experience with the board but have enjoyed participating in the growth and progress to further Vision 2030. I feel I would be an asset to help the board further the goals and vision and I believe my experience of serving the citizens of Greenville will help provide valuable experience and an understanding of the needs of our community and municipalities throughout the 4th district.
Tell us about your experience as a municipal official. You may want to include information on your service on the municipal governing body, other related boards and special areas of interest?
I have been serving the city of Greenville since 2015. I was first elected to serve on the city council for one term and have served as the mayor of the city for 4 terms. I have enjoyed serving our city over the 5 terms and we have seen a tremendous amount of growth and progress over the years.
Tell us about your educational background, professional experience, and/or community or civic activities?
I am originally from Wisconsin and came to Greenville to attend East Carolina University and played baseball for the Pirates. I graduated with a BSBA with a concentration in finance in 2005 and after completing a professional baseball career I returned to Greenville to open a real estate business.
