    Having been involved in many civic organizations since I moved to Hickory in 2001, I have long worked for positive change in Catawba County. Memberships include:  2011-2014 Hickory City Community Relations Council;  2011-2013 GOP Executive Committee 3rd Vice Chair; 2011-2012 Republican Men's Forum Treasurer, 2011 County, District and State Delegate; U.S. Congressional 10th District Military Advisory Committee; Claremont City Military Advisory Committee; American Legion Post 48; Veteran's of Foreign Wars Post 4553; Disabled American Veterans Hickory Chapter 34; and U.S. Navy Memorial Association Washington, D.C.

   Past memberships include:  President, Republican Mens Forum (2 terms 2004-2006); Chair, Greater Hickory Metro Area Unaffiliated Group 2007;  Hickory Choral Society (2002 to 2007); Boy Scouts of America Venture Crew 302 (Crew Advisor of the Year 2006) and USO of North Carolina.

   My continued and committed public service has rewarded me with many friendships and opportunity to meet a cross-section of Catawba county residents
 
 
    In all my endeavors, the relationships I've forged have instilled in me the  inspiration and personal satisfaction for continued public service.  My proven effective leadership style and welfare for others make me ready now to serve our county in a new capacity as your Clerk of Court.
 
    I will bring my legal acumen, managerial experience, administrative and technological skills, a new voice, fresh perspective and  energized work ethic to our courthouse.  I will work everyday to foster positive interpersonal relationships, partnerships and pragmatic solutions with our Catawba County judicial courtroom work-group consisting of Superior and District Court Judges, Law Enforcement, the District Attorney's Office and Defense Counsels.  All in a combined effort to provide strong, effective and efficient justice and customer service to the citizens of our great county.

God Bless.  I look forward to seeing you on the campaign trail in the summer of 2013.
