BUILDING A BETTER GREENSBORO, TOGETHER.

My Commitment to Greensboro: Leadership, Safety, and Prosperity for All

Building a Safer, Stronger, and More Prosperous Greensboro for Generations to Come

If these walls could talk, they would tell the stories of a city built on resilience, innovation, and community. They would echo the voices of citizens who love Greensboro, who strive for progress, and who want a future where businesses thrive, families feel safe, and opportunities abound.

At a pivotal moment for our city, I stand before the Greensboro community with a clear vision and unwavering dedication. Serving on the Greensboro City Council is not about filling a vacant seat—it is about selecting a leader with the experience, commitment, and passion to shape our city’s future for the better.

 


A Lifetime of Leadership and Service

For over 45 years, I have been a business owner, innovator, and leader in Greensboro. My work in technology and telecommunications has not only created jobs but also helped local businesses grow and thrive. I have spent my career building, problem-solving, and driving progress—exactly the kind of leadership our city needs.

But my contributions extend far beyond business. I have been a committed advocate for our neighborhoods, working alongside city leaders and over 1,500 residents to secure a Neighborhood Conservation Overlay (NCO) for the Preserve Friendly Avenue initiative. This was not just about zoning—it was about preserving the character of our neighborhoods, ensuring responsible growth, and making sure the voices of Greensboro residents were heard.

 


Public Safety: The Foundation of a Thriving City

A safe Greensboro is a strong Greensboro. Public safety must be our top priority—it is the foundation of everything from attracting businesses to strengthening communities.

I will work with city leaders to invest in hiring experienced officers, ensure that our public safety departments are well-resourced, and promote community-based policing initiatives that foster trust between law enforcement and our residents. Every family in Greensboro deserves to feel secure in their home, their neighborhood, and their city.

 


Smart Growth & Economic Innovation

Greensboro is at a critical crossroads of economic growth and transformation. From our history in textiles to our emergence as a leader in aerospace and technology, this city has continually reinvented itself. Our challenge now is to guide that growth responsibly and sustainably.

My experience in business and technology gives me a deep understanding of how to foster economic expansion while protecting the character of our community. I will push for policies that:

Support small businesses and entrepreneurs to ensure local job creation.
Encourage responsible development that benefits all citizens—not just large developers.
Enhance Greensboro’s infrastructure to support our growing economy.

Economic progress and community well-being go hand in hand. We can build a Greensboro that is business-friendly while remaining a place where families can thrive.

 


A Future-Focused Vision for Greensboro

Our city deserves forward-thinking leaders who embrace change while respecting the history that makes Greensboro special. The work we do today will shape the city that our children and grandchildren inherit tomorrow.

This is why my commitment is not just for this appointment—it is for the long-term future of Greensboro. I am dedicated to making our city safer, stronger, and more prosperous for future generations.

 


A Call to Action: Let’s Build a Stronger Greensboro Together

Tonight, a decision will be made—a decision that will shape the direction of Greensboro’s leadership. I ask for your trust, your support, and your belief in a shared vision for a brighter future.

I am not running for a title. I am stepping up to serve, to lead, and to make Greensboro the best city it can be.

Together, we can build a city that is safe, business-friendly, and full of opportunity for every resident. Greensboro is on the rise, and with strong leadership, we will make it an even greater place to live, work, and raise a family.

I would be honored to serve and to work alongside you to shape the future of Greensboro.

A Vision for a Safer Greensboro – But I Can’t Do It Alone

Greensboro is a city full of potential, but we cannot thrive if our residents feel unsafe. By investing in our police force, improving infrastructure, and fostering community trust, we can create a city where families flourish and businesses grow. Together, we can make Greensboro a place where safety and security are priorities and opportunity is within reach for everyone.

But I can’t do this alone. Running a successful campaign requires reaching voters through social media, hosting community events, and spreading our message of leadership and change—which takes resources. I need your financial support to make this vision a reality.

Your donation today will help us engage voters, expand outreach, and ensure that every Greensboro resident knows the importance of this election.

Let’s build the future our city deserves. Greensboro is ready for a new era—let’s get to work.

👉 Donate today and be part of the movement for a safer, stronger, and more prosperous Greensboro. Every dollar counts, every vote matters, and together, we will make a difference.
