Accessibility
As a businessman it is critical to remain accessible to your customers. Missing a call may mean missing a job.For the past 12 years, I have worked diligently to return constituent calls and emails.Elected officials should, at bare minimum, be accessible and willing to listen to their constituents.
Service to My Community
I am seeking re-election as your Ward 4 City Councilman because I feel that I can continue to improve the City of Smyrna. Smyrna is my home, the home of my wife, and where we reaised our children. I am very proud to be a citizen of this great city. As your councilman, I will work to ensure that we, and future generations, can all be proud of where we live.
Experience
As a Consulting Engineer for over 42 years, I have worked with numeous cities and counties in Georgia to improve their community. For the past 12 years, I have utilized this experience to benefit my home town, here in Smyrna. I plan to use the experience and knowledge gained from both positions, as an engineer and as a city councilman, to continue to make the City of Smyrna a better place to live.
Honesty and Integrity
As your City Councilman, I have always voted based upon my understanding of the issue and the longterm value for the City of Smyrna and its residents. While all of my decisions don't always please everyone, every vote cast has been based on the facts presented and known to me, with the best interest of the City of Smyrna in mind. Whether you agree, disagree or are simply interested in a particular issue and want to know why I voted the way I did, I have always - and will always - be willing to discuss the issue.
In recent years, I have been outspoken on several issues brought before the City Council. If you would like to know why, please reach out and let's discuss! My decisions were based on the facts presented to me and I still stand by them, but I always want to hear from constituents on their thoughts, opinions and experiences.
Unfinished Business
Two unfinished city items are of particular interest to me. The first is Windy Hill Road. This project was started near the end of my second term and is still under construction. The project is funded by the 2016 SPLOST program and seems to be the project that never ends. I have supported it from the beginning and would like to see it through to completion. The second is the restrooms and pavilion at North Cooper Lake Park. These amenities are slated to be completed by early 2024 and I would like to continue oversight of this project, as well as any other projects that are advantageous for the City of Smyrna that come to the City Council.
