What do you love about our city?

·      There are so many aspects of this city that I love.  The geographic location, climate, a true city center, great education options (K-12 and colleges), transportation hub, strong healthcare and thriving business environment.  The community is diverse in race, culture, skills, education, etc.  I still feel that being a Christian Business Leader is respected and living out my faith in this community is accepted.  Our city has a heart for serving others and trying to do the right thing.  We are one of the most desirable places in the country for people to live and businesses to grow.  All of this provides an incredible opportunity to positively impact His Kingdom!

·      Flying as a private pilot

·      Bird hunting (duck, quail, pheasant, etc.)

·      Hiking and camping

·      I’m often asked if I served in the military after VMI.  That was my desire but due to medical issues as a child, I wasn’t able to serve.
