Expand all | Collapse all

I am a family man with family values, and I believe that translates to most folks throughout our community. We all want to feel safe. We all need economic opportunities to make a decent living. We all want our streets and infrastructure to be maintained. We all want to keep our tax and utility bills low and manageable. And finally, we all want to have a transparent government that represents our very best interests and values. Of all the candidates running for City Council Ward 1, I believe I am the most qualified and motivated. My service as a board member for organizations such as the YMCA, Open Door Ministries, and the Citizens Advisory Council prove my commitment to serving High Point's residents. Additionally, I lead efforts such as Educator Engagement for the HP Schools Partnership and also the Washington Street Renaissance Project. In the latter, I have successfully advocated for nearly 1 million dollars worth of investment to be sowed into the Washington Street community, most namely through our efforts for John Coltrane's childhood home, where I co-chair the Coltrane Project; we are committed to repurposing and preserving this home--that work is currently underway! I am an educator, minister, motivational speaker, and mentor...but none of those roles are as important as my role in being a husband and father. My family is my daily motivation. When the work gets tough, I remain committed because I am fighting for a better High Point that I can feel proud to raise my family in. Whoever sits in this seat for the next four years must possess the time, passion, and energy to make things happen. During this campaign season, I encourage voters not to trust empty promises but to look at the fruit of each candidate and judge us by the work that we have already done and are currently doing. This is a critical time for High Point. If Ward 1 is to get its just due, then we've got to get to work!
  • Creating a community that supports and promotes stronger families
  • Taking the weights off of our boats so that the rising tide can be felt by all
  • Being committed to doing the hard work that is necessary to improve our community
I am passionate about the education and engagement of our youth. They are our future so we must be good stewards and ensure that they all have opportunities to pursue significance and success.

I am also passionate about economic & community development. Adequate jobs and housing are the cornerstones of a vibrant society.
