Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’ve proudly called Pink Hill home for over a decade, raising a family alongside my wife, Estefany. As a U.S. Marine Corps veteran with 10 years of service, I bring leadership, accountability, and a strong sense of duty to every challenge I face.

My passion for service began as a child on September 11, 2001. The tragedy of that day sparked a lifelong commitment to serve my country. As a Marine, I worked with diverse teams and managed millions in assets while building strong relationships and problem-solving in high-pressure environments.

After my military career, I pursued education, earning an associate degree from James Sprunt Community College and a bachelor’s degree in business administration from East Carolina University. These experiences strengthened my skills in communication, teamwork, and leadership.

Now, I’m committed to serving Pink Hill by learning from its residents, preserving its values, and working together to support smart, community-driven growth. I bring a fresh perspective, a heart for service, and a deep love for this town. As I did in the Marines, I’m ready to lead and serve with honor, courage, and commitment.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• I will faithfully serve the people of Pink Hill by representing their interests with integrity, transparency, and a commitment to community first leadership
• I’m guided by strong family values and a true love for Pink Hill. My goal is to help build a stronger, more connected community where every voice is heard and every family can thrive.
• I’m rooted in small-town values like hard work, honesty, and looking out for one another. I’m committed to preserving what makes Pink Hill such a special place to call home.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I’m committed to smart, community-driven policies that support growth, improve infrastructure, and protect the values that make Pink Hill a great place to live.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I’ve always admired those who made significant contributions to our nation such as the Founding Fathers and Abraham Lincoln. I’m also thankful for the Marines in my life who led by example and taught me what it means to be a selfless and effective leader.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

The founding fathers embodied the true spirit of American sacrifice and leadership. Watching the 2008 John Adams series deepened my understanding of what principled, courageous leadership should look like.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Elected officials must lead with unwavering honesty and integrity. They should stand confidently behind their decisions, take responsibility for mistakes, and approach change with patience and openness.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

I possess integrity, accountability, and a genuine commitment to serve. I believe in listening to the people, making informed decisions, and always putting the community first.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Elected officials must serve the people, not personal agendas, by making decisions that reflect the best interests of the town and the community they represent.

What legacy would you like to leave?

One who selflessly gave his all for the benefit of those around him

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

September 11, 2001, was the first major historical event of my lifetime. I was in sixth grade when it happened. It was at this point I decided to become a United States Marine.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Serving our nation as a United States Marine which I proudly accomplished for nearly 10 years, grounded in duty, discipline, and a commitment to something greater than myself.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for holders of this office to have previous experience in government or politics?

True leadership means knowing when to lead and when to listen. Political experience isn't a requirement. Wwhat matters is the willingness to learn, grow, and serve with purpose and humility.

What qualities does this office possess that makes it a unique and important part of the local government?

Pink Hill is a close-knit community built on strong small-town values. Its people share a deep sense of camaraderie and common purpose. As Commissioner, I will work to honor and preserve that tradition.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Every citizen deserves to know how their tax dollars are spent. I’m committed to full transparency and accountability in every financial decision made by our local government.
