Hello, and thank you for taking your time to learn more about me, I hope the information you find on this website, as well as on my downloadable CV, answers the questions you are looking for, or otherwise satisfies your curiosity. I would consider myself among some of the luckiest few in the world, that is I get to do something professionally that I genuinely love, lead local governments in accomplishing their mission and vision while sustaining a thriving quality of life for the people I love to serve, the citizens of South Carolina.
Accompanying my professional life, in my personal life I have also had the privilege of serving as an awarded and accomplished volunteer law enforcement officer, an officer and leader in the historic South Carolina State Guard, and most importantly a devoted husband and a father to a terrific wife and two children.
If after reading this you still have any questions, I would like to invite you to reach out via my contact information above; I would love to sit down and hear about your passions as well.
