Today, I’m proud to be known as the “Broker for the People.” As the Market Center Team Leader at Keller Williams Greater Charleston and former Broker in Charge at Century 21 Excel, I’ve led a team that has helped more than 1,100 families find homes while mentoring the next generation of real estate professionals. My career has been built on creating opportunities, expanding access to affordable housing, and strengthening communities here in the Lowcountry.
Service doesn’t stop at work. I’ve served as President of the Charleston Area Realtist Association, President-Elect of the Charleston Trident Association of Realtors, and on the board of Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Lowcountry and Lowcountry Youth Services. I’ve also worked to expand diversity, equity, and inclusion across the real estate industry and mentored countless young leaders. I’m also a published author (Unleash Your Purpose), a national leadership coach, and I’m completing my Doctorate in Leadership at Charleston Southern University.
But above all else, I’m a husband, a father, and a servant leader.- Leadership With Purpose – I believe leadership isn’t about titles, it’s about responsibility. My campaign is built on unleashing purpose in public service—putting people over politics and bringing common-sense solutions to the issues that matter most.
- Experience That Works – As a real estate broker, small business owner, veteran, and community leader, I know how to build, grow, and serve. I bring both professional and lived experience to solve challenges like housing, infrastructure, and education.
- Advocacy for Our Future – I am committed to fighting for affordable housing, better roads, stronger schools, and a better quality of life. I will be a voice for families, small businesses, and communities that often feel overlooked.
Tell us your favorite joke.
Infrastructure and road expansion
Education and workforce readiness
Mental health and healthcare access
