•Education: Attended Verbena High School and a graduate from John Patterson Tech College.

•Personal message: As a lifetime citizen, I have had the privilege to have served as your commissioner for eight years. I have taken this job seriously and my record shows my dedication. I have not missed a meeting in my eight years. I have brought morals, integrity and most of all accountability to the commission. I have provided the minutes from the commission meeting to the citizens of Chilton County for the past eight years; that was part of my platform for accountability. I am the people’s commissioner with an open door policy. You may not always get the answer you want, but you will get the truth. I have been successfully self-employed for 35 years and qualified to manage a $12 million budget or more each year. I ask for your votes and support in the Nov. 6 general election. See you at the polls.
