| Collapse all
Kim started her first business in 2002 and has continued to create jobs and economic growth in North Alabama ever since. She is the founder of PROJECTXYZ, a business that provides services in technology, manufacturing, engineering to commercial and governmental customers. She and her husband, Larry, own and operate multiple businesses across North Alabama like the Entrepreneurial Center (TEC 515), an incubator facility for start-up companies and small businesses in need of support.
Kim’s success as a businesswoman has afforded her the opportunity to invest in small businesses across North Alabama, saving jobs in danger of being lost and ensuring anchors in the community continue into the next generation.
In addition to her personal business success, Kim has served the community as Chair of the Huntsville/Madison County Chamber of Commerce, the first Black female ever elected as Board Chair. In her time as Chair in 2019, she led $1.8 billion in capital investment in Huntsville, Madison and Limestone County and helped create over 3,000 new jobs.
Kim has quietly served her community in a number of other ways as well—on boards for the National Children’s Advocacy Council, Crestwood Medical Center, the Huntsville Botanical Garden Board, Health Establishments at Local Schools (HEALS), and the UAH Foundation Board.- Continuing Our Economic Growth - Small businesses are the backbone of Alabama’s economy, making up 96.7% of all businesses in the state and employing 47.7% of the state’s private workforce. As a small business owner, I know exactly what it takes for these companies to succeed and will make them a priority in Montgomery.
- Investing in Our Children - We need to invest in our children’s futures by fully funding public schools because a child’s zip code should not determine their educational opportunities. We can accomplish this by passing legislation for a state lottery. Right now, Alabama is losing as much as $710 million annually to neighboring states who have already passed this legislation. A state lottery would also create up to 19,000 jobs. This legislation makes good business sense, and it would go a long way towards ensuring all children have access to a quality education.
- Building a Stronger Alabama - Our economy and our neighborhoods are only as strong as the foundation they’re built on. We need to prioritize investment in our bridges, roads, water systems, and utilities so our infrastructure needs can keep pace with the incredible growth we’re seeing in North Alabama.
