My family and I have called Selma home since early 2017 after we purchased our dream house in our dream town. My wife, Sara, and I have made community involvement one of our top priorities. I am proud to say we have been able to participate in a myriad of community activities here in Selma and throughout Johnston County. I currently preside over the Selma Elementary School Parent-Teacher-Community Organization, I am a member of the Selma Lions Club, and I am blessed to serve Edgerton Memorial United Methodist Church as lay leader.
Selma is a beautiful town that grows and becomes more impressive each day. With the help of Selma’s citizens, business owners, and employees our town will continue to thrive. I will do my part, to the best of my ability, to ensure Selma’s continued success!
