Students first. Teachers supported. Parents heard. Schools safe.

Why I’m running
Our children get one opportunity at an education
One. They don’t get to come back in ten years when we’ve sorted things out.
I’m a lifelong Cumberland County resident and a Pine Forest High School graduate. My sons went through Cumberland County Schools — one graduated this year, and the other starts at Terry Sanford this fall. For years I’ve served as president of the Terry Sanford Athletic Booster Club, which means a lot of Friday nights, a lot of fundraising, and a lot of time around coaches, teachers, and parents.
And for more than twenty years I’ve sold homes in this county. Every family thinking about moving here asks me the same question first: how are the schools? I’ve watched that answer get harder to give. That’s why I’m running.
What’s at stake
This isn’t just a school system. It’s the county’s economy.
Cumberland County Schools is the fifth largest district in North Carolina and the second largest employer in this county, behind only the military. When our schools struggle, home values, hiring, and families’ decisions to stay all feel it.

Priorities
Seven things I’ll work on
Academic excellence
Back to fundamentals — reading, writing, math, science, and a classroom where teaching can actually happen.
Careers & trades
Apprenticeships, trades training, and workforce partnerships. College isn’t the only path, and it shouldn’t be the only one we prepare kids for.
Parents at the table
Transparency, meetings families can actually attend, plain language, and an answer when you ask a question.
Supporting teachers
Teachers are our greatest investment. Competitive pay, real classroom resources, and less paperwork between them and their students.
Athletics & activities
Sports, band, and clubs aren’t extras. For a lot of kids they’re the reason school is worth showing up for — and kids who show up, learn.
Where I stand
“Closing a school should always be the last option, not the first.” Bryan Moore
Enrollment is falling and the budget is tight, so there are hard conversations coming. Before a single closure is on the table, the families affected should hear about it early and in plain language — not after the decision has been made.
Get involved
Sixty days. Three seats. One ask.
Mail-in ballots are already going out and early voting opens soon. The fastest way to help is to add your name — then tell three people who they can vote for.
Want to do more? Poll greeting, canvassing, phone calls, event help, or just putting a sign in your yard — there’s a place for you.
