I’ve spent nearly four decades in business and the majority of that time has been in business management. I’m running as a conservative Republican for Hamilton County Commission because we need more of a business focus brought to the commission. I’ll bring the experience of successfully operating and growing Walmart stores across Southeast Tennessee – and the business acumen to get things done.

We need someone on the commission who understands and can meet the challenge of a complex budget that could easily top a billion dollars in the next fiscal year. We need a new commissioner who knows how to work with other commissioners to manage the budget conservatively and responsibly. The County Commission is in need of a decision-maker – someone who will be decisive and stand up for what’s right for a specific community at the right time.

I also love this district and this county deeply. I believe in giving back to a community that has given so much to me and my family. Throughout my career, I have dedicated my time and resources to many charitable organizations and initiatives. My wife Denise and I are both involved daily in the community and will continue to do that after I am elected.

My mission as your commissioner is to partner with my fellow commissioners to streamline government, fix the schools, continue to work on plans for responsible growth and tackle the major infrastructure problems head-on. I’ll do everything I can to help our fire and law enforcement partners, and I’ll work hard to develop a workforce for now and in the future.

I hope to earn your vote, and when I am elected, I fully understand I work for you! I will be completely transparent and always available.
