I’m proud to have been raised in northwest Arkansas by a hardworking family. My parents faced their own challenges growing up – my father served our country proudly in the Navy, having joined at a young age during World War II. Their dedication to service and sacrifice instilled in me a strong commitment to supporting others through both career and community involvement. While life wasn’t always easy, their example taught me the importance of perseverance, integrity and giving back to one’s community. Those values continue to guide me today in my personal and professional endeavors.
Growing up here in northwest Arkansas shaped who I am. From a young age, I felt called to serve my neighbors however I could. I proudly served over a decade as an EMT, firefighter and deputy sheriff. That frontline work provided so much fulfillment and really cemented my commitment to public service.
I’m beyond blessed to now call northwest Arkansas home with my wife Felicia. Our children have grown into adulthood and started families of their own. When I’m not at work, I love spending time with my family, whether visiting the ones still pursuing their education or enjoying time with those who have settled down locally. Family has always been my foundation, and I cherish every opportunity we have to create new memories together in this next stage of life.
Throughout my career, I’ve been driven by a commitment to serve others. After years spent as an EMT, firefighter and deputy sheriff – roles that fed my soul but also showed me the true meaning of public service – my background and experiences have taken me into the business world. As a partner at a marketing firm in Bentonville, I get to harness the skills and lessons learned from my previous work on the frontlines. I relish opportunities to support important clients and causes through my current role. But a dedication to community and those in need will always be at my core.
At my heart, I’m guided by a commitment to community, integrity and empowering others. Life has shown me the importance of these values, and they’re how I approach every day – whether at home with my family, serving clients, or active in local issues important to our area. Most of all, I aim to create positive impact however I’m able.
Northwest Arkansas has given me so much, so I strive to give back through volunteer work and staying engaged. I hope you’ll say hello if our paths cross – I’d love to connect on how we can build an even stronger, more caring community together.
