Community & government

Public service is part of my story.

A record of local government involvement, community decisions, and the responsibility of stewarding public resources.

Signal Mountain Town Council

I was elected to the Signal Mountain Town Council in November 2024 and served through November 2026.

My work involved municipal budgeting, infrastructure, development policy, stormwater, public safety, and the many daily decisions that affect a community. I approached these issues with an emphasis on transparency, fiscal responsibility, careful analysis, and public engagement.

Boards and participation

  • Board of Zoning Appeals
  • Stormwater Appeals Board
  • Library Board
  • Planning Commission liaison

Public service has reinforced how important implementation details, competing constraints, and clear communication are to responsible governance.
