As a business owner, I am familiar with the issues facing working families of the district. As a husband and father, I am familiar with the issues in our school and I want to do something to change it. As a member of Hall County GOP, member of Gwinnett County GOP, lieutenant governor of Georgia Kiwanis, member of South Hall Rotary, and an Executive Board Member of the Gwinnett Children's Shelter, I have been active in the community for years and seen the needs first hand. As the Vice President of the Buford Business Alliance, I have helped others achieve their dream of starting their own successful business. Today, I am running to represent to be the voice of the hard working families of the district. Together, we can make State House District 30 a great place to live, work, and grow up.
