As a seasoned Public Works Director, I bring a proven record of leadership, operational excellence, and infrastructure stewardship within municipal government. I collaborate effectively with city staff, residents, and contractors to guide projects from planning through construction, ensuring quality results and regulatory compliance. I manage multimillion‑dollar budgets and have implemented strategic improvements, including establishing a comprehensive Capital Improvement Program and launching a full stormwater division responsible for hundreds of assets across the city. With experience maintaining 38 centerline miles of roadway, overseeing utility usage audits, negotiating vendor contracts, and conducting employee evaluations and safety training, I prioritize efficiency, accountability, and service reliability. I am also skilled in emergency response, working quickly to restore essential services during severe weather and community-impacting events. Through clear direction, practical problem‑solving, and a focus on continuous improvement, I ensure that public works operations support a safe, sustainable, and well‑maintained community.

I completed my Public Works Management credentials through the University of Georgia’s Carl Vinson Institute of Government, a respected statewide leader in public service education and professional development. Through this program, I gained advanced training in municipal operations, infrastructure planning, leadership, and regulatory compliance. The curriculum strengthened my expertise in managing public works systems, budgeting, asset management, and personnel leadership—providing a strong foundation for effective decision‑making and operational excellence in local government. This education has equipped me with the knowledge and skills essential for overseeing complex public works functions and delivering high-quality services to the community.
