Giving Back

Giving back to the community is something Brenda and I love to do. We've been long time members of Kennesaw and Acworth Business Associations. We belong to several other local associations, including Marietta's MBA, and I am working hard to build up the Vinings Business Association as the current president of that group.

Rotary is another organization we believe in and we both have been on the board at various times during our membership. We have both been named Rotarian of the Year. Yesterday we were surprised with an award, the Rotary Ambassadors Award! We were the host parents for our international GRSP student from Sri Lanka this year. We were also instrumental in two big projects for children of other countries. We helped establish a computer lab for the kids of Ibarra Ecuador, a very poor area. Also, we headed up the project to purchase some much needed diagnostic equipment for the Childrens Hospital of Costa Rica. We personally visited both of these Rotary clubs and met the children we helped, an amazing experience!

Helping children, locally and globally, is one of our passions. Thank you for believing in my efforts and supporting me for a seat on our Cobb County school board. If the voters see fit, I believe I can make a big difference to bring a new level of respect to the board and help keep our schools great.
