I was born in Greenville, North Carolina and raised in Greene County (Snow Hill). I went to Greene Central High School and had a career with Dupont as a lineman and an electrician at their Kinston plant. I then worked for the State of North Carolina in the Department of Corrections, at which time I first ran for Winterville Town Council. I have retired but still work part time with ECU and am a trustee with Sheppard Memorial Library. I also served as a volunteer fireman at the Winterville Fire Station. I've stayed in Winterville for almost 40 years now, and love that we have a "slice of the good life."
- Commitment to service, proven experience, and ability to get along with people. In my 18 years on the Town Council I've watched Winterville change, definitely for the better. I love the growth. I meet new people all the time. We've had infrastructure improvements. New single-family homes are coming into town. People are laid back but also hard working, and people have access to a quality education with strong high schools, Pitt Community College, and ECU right up the road. We have lots of diversity, which wasn't always the case. Public safety has improved and is a reason why people choose to relocate here. I'm proud of my service to the Town, as a ball coach, chair of the Parks department, and a Deacon at my church.
- I understand public policy and have identified key improvements to help Winterville both embrace growth and preserve what we enjoy. If I'm re-elected, I want to prioritize: - A new multipurpose building near Highway 11 (Winterville Parkway) - A new walking trail on the east side of town, which will help with recreation and bring people closer to nature and each other - Sidewalks on Mill Street - A new watertower and a second fire station - A recreation center on the west side of town These projects will support a town that is ready to move forward and willing to face challenges.
- Mentorship and engagement with the community. I am a man of faith, active in New Saint Rest Church. James 2:26 says "faith without works is dead" and I try to carry the values of kindness, respect, and open-mindedness into every decision I make. I have strong convictions and clear morals, and I will go to bat for the policies I support during meetings, but I also am easy to get along with. No matter who I've served with, I always serve with the wellbeing of Winterville in mind. As I get older, I'm excited to pass this experience on and support our youth. I've been married to my wonderful wife for 50 years, and have a daughter, son and daughter-in-law and one grandson.

Trust, kindness, honesty, attention to detail, participation, experience, courage
I worked at Dupont for 31 years. I learned how important safety was, serving on the fire department there. As I continued my career, I received a degree as an Industrial Electrician from the Community College which furthered my education and showed me the value of higher education, which is why ECU is such a blessing to have nearby. I made lifelong friends working in person, played lots of sports. I still visit my colleagues even as most of us are retirees, and those friendships have been so important to me.
In addition to the King James Version bible, I enjoy men's devotional books, like Living By Faith: Lessons for Life. I also loved reading Huckleberry Finn when I was in school, and I loved reading and sharing stories with my kids as they grew up.
As Winterville is located due south of Greenville, we have an important partnership with the Greenville City Council. We also are North of Ayden and Grifton, with Kinston and Farmville not far away. We also have adjacent land that is part of Pitt County, so it is important to have relationships with all types of local government officials. We also get attention from the State of North Carolina, since we are the second largest municipality in the County and are growing rapidly. New businesses are interested in moving here and opening up shops. I bring a long track record of work and life experience and know eastern North Carolina well.
