The Election Hub Questionnaire
Please provide demographic information about yourself to help voters (age, education, current occupation, where you live).
I am 54 years old and live in Charlotte. I am a diesel mechanic and coach football at Livingstone College.
Why are you running for this role and why should voters pick you? Please share any experience in an elected role that would be relevant to voters.
I am running for the school board District 2 seat because I recognize the need for change. Public education is in crisis and new leadership is desperately needed. Voters should vote for me because I am not drawing lines in the sand like my opponent but rather circles around people. I am building relationships and bringing people together like no other candidate.
What is one thing you would like to accomplish in the first six months if elected?
One of the most challenging things facing public education today is out of control behavior in classrooms. Teachers are leaving the profession because they do not feel safe, and we cannot begin to address the problem with teacher shortages until we address behavior. Learning cannot happen in environments where students and teachers do not feel safe. So, implementing common sense discipline is something that I want to do right off the bat.
Tell us about 2-3 professional accomplishments you have achieved in your work experience (not limited to public service) that give voters a sense of your leadership style or skills.

I am endorsed by MeckGOP and Moms for Liberty. I am also endorsed by Pastor Dennis Williams of the African American Faith Alliance and Commissioner Vilma Leake.
Tell us something unexpected about you that voters may be interested to know.
