Carolina Forest Civic Association

As a resident of Carolina Forest since 2007, it has become apparent that the growth of our community requires a cohesive voice. Luckily, the Carolina Forest Civic Association (CFCA) has provided an integral platform to consolidate and amplify that voice to ensure Carolina Forest receives the consideration that it deserves. I applaud the leadership of the CFCA for its achievements in organizing community events and for striving to be the most comprehensive and informative source for Carolina Forest residents. I am encouraged by its success, however, there is an evident need for further involvement from the community to ensure that our goals are realized. I am seeking a seat on the board to share in the proactivity required by a growing community organization. As a local business owner and financial services professional, I believe my expertise, work ethic, and contacts at the local, state, and national level will prove beneficial to the future success of the CFCA and the Carolina Forest community at large. 

To provide further context into my background: I was born in Ohio and raised primarily in the Annapolis, MD area. My wife, Laura, and I are the proud parents of 2 young boys who seem to already share their father’s passion for travel, sports, music, and books.
