Background
"I was born and raised in Hartselle, AL. I attended the University of Alabama where I received both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. During that time I interned for Senator Shelby, Senator Sessions, Mayor Battle, and Lockheed Martin. I previously worked for the Huntsville Madison County Builders Association as their Director of Government Affairs & Workforce Development. I co-founded the North Alabama Homebuilding Academy, a free workforce development school for the construction trades, which has graduated more than 170 trained workers since 2020. I most recently served as the Business Retention & Expansion Director at the Huntsville Madison County Chamber. In that role, I managed economic development projects throughout the region. I serve on the board of directors for Free 2 Teach, the North Alabama Red Cross, and I am a graduate of Leadership Huntsville. My wife Madison and I reside in Huntsville, are active in the community, and are members of Asbury Methodist Church."[1]
