WHy I want to represent you

My high school sweetheart, Holly, and I moved to Hilton Head Island after college in 2008. She became a teacher at Hilton Head Island Middle School and I started my hospitality career in the food and beverage industry, working as a server and bartender.

 

We have been able to build a good life here, advancing in our careers, buying our first house in Hilton Head Plantation, and growing our family with our seven-year-old twin daughters, Amelia and Elizabeth. We take every opportunity to share this island with them. From Island Rec Soccer and after-school walks to Mitchelville to enjoying Islander’s Beach on the weekends, it’s their home.

 

I worry that our island’s children will not have the same opportunities Holly and I have had. I worry that to build a life and career, they will have to move away. One of my motivators for running for Town Council is to help build opportunities for the next generation. I want to help set them up for success and ensure our economy remains stable and thriving.

Our Family
