I was elected 3 times as Senior Warden in my church and have served on the church Vestry for almost 20 years. My wife Marie and I team taught the first and second grade of Sunday School for at least 14 years. I ran for the state House in District 2 in 2010 and garnered 46 percent of the vote in a very difficult district for a Republican candidate against a firmly entrenched incumbent Democrat.

I am a member of the NC Christian Action League I am serving my 4th term as president of Edenton Emergency Aid, a not for profit organization that assists the poorest citizens of our county in need of help with utility bills, etc. I serve on the transportation committee of our parish assisting the elderly and infirmed with their transportation needs.
