I’m honored to have been featured in The Georgia Politics Podcast’s Candidate Profile series. In this episode, we dive into my journey, vision, and why I believe Sandy Springs deserves bold, inclusive leadership.
👤 What we cover:
My personal story — growing up in a military family, being raised by a single mother, and discovering early on what perseverance, service, and storytelling truly mean.
My work as a journalist and communicator, from leading public affairs in Fulton County to amplifying voices in nationally-important cases like Ahmaud Arbery and R. Kelly.
Who I am beyond politics — husband, father, small business owner, and volunteer: Vice Chair of my child’s school council, First Vice President of the Atlanta NAACP, Chair of North Fulton Democrats.
The challenges I see in Sandy Springs, and the solutions I’m advocating — affordability (especially for teachers and first responders), equity, transparency, smarter traffic and infrastructure planning, and boosting opportunity for minority-owned businesses.
🎯 Why this matters:
Sandy Springs is at a pivotal moment. Decisions we make now will shape our quality of life for years to come — for all residents, not just the privileged. I believe that through responsive leadership, shared resources, and inclusive policy, we can build a city that lifts every voice.
