I am a lifelong resident of LaGrange, Georgia and I was fortunate to receive my education from Troup County Schools and to graduate from LaGrange College with a degree in Economics. Following a brief stint at Southern Methodist University's law school, I returned to LaGrange in 1998 to contribute to my family's business, DANRIC Homes. Over the past 25 years, I have dedicated myself to the fields of residential development, home building, and property management, serving as co-owner and President of DANRIC Homes since 2010. Beyond business, I am actively involved in shaping LaGrange's future. I have served on the board of the Development Authority of LaGrange since 2015 and contributed to the City of LaGrange Comprehensive Plan Update Steering Committee in 2021. Additionally, my role on the Board of Trustees at First United Methodist Church underscores my commitment to our city's spiritual and communal well-being.In May 2024, I was honored to be elected as the Representative for District One on the LaGrange City Council. LaGrange is not just my home; it's a place I am deeply invested in seeing thrive. Building upon the strong foundation laid by generations past, I believe it is imperative that we work together to address key issues facing our community. Whether it's combating poverty, promoting affordable housing, enhancing literacy, or improving public safety, I see tremendous opportunities to positively impact the lives of LaGrange residents.I am dedicated to preserving LaGrange's distinct character while fostering inclusive growth and development that benefits everyone in our community, both now and in the future.
