I’m a husband and father of two girls — #GirlDad. I enjoy coaching both of them in softball and basketball.
I’ve visited 87 of the 100 counties in North Carolina, and I hope to visit the remaining 13 counties before the end of the year.
I currently serve on a number of boards, including the North Carolina Friends of the State Parks, the East Carolina University Alumni Association, the NC Institute of Public Leadership and a few local advisory boards.
Whether I’m creating, teaching, facilitating, consulting or speaking, I truly enjoy what I do as a marketing and communications professional. A great communication strategy is a vital part of any organization’s success.
I’ve served as a law enforcement officer both full-time and reserve for over 14 years, and I love riding motorcycles in my free time.
