I am a a life long resident of Warren Co. VA that has traveled extensively in North America and Europe working for major corporations in medical x-ray sales. I became involved in bringing economic development to our community as a political appointee in the early 1990s. I was so successful that in 2001, I decided to combine my advocation for this community with my vocation, and resigned from Bayer Corp. to sell commercial real estate. I teach and serve in my church. We have four children and nine grandchildren. I am prone to be ready on short notice to hunt or fish.
