Why are you running?
Growing up in Bennett's Creek, I developed a love for Suffolk. While attending John Yeates High School, a teacher made a difference in my life and I knew that I wanted to do the same for others. I returned to John Yeates to teach after my wife and I had graduated from James Madison University. Last year I became frustrated with the city budget process. After watching and listening to the citizens who voiced their disapproval of the budget, I felt that city council failed to listen and respond. I believe that a person should not complain about situations that they refuse to try and change. With that said, I decided to throw my hat in the ring.
