What would you like other legislators to know about you?

As a dedicated father and husband, my family is my greatest source of inspiration and motivation. I’m also an avid sports fan, always ready to cheer on our local teams. Beyond that, I am a devoted public servant with years of experience working to improve the lives of the people I represent. My goal as a legislator is to collaborate with colleagues from all backgrounds and across the aisle to enact meaningful legislation that positively impacts the lives of North Carolinians. I believe that working together can build a stronger, more prosperous future for our state.
