I grew up on Castleton Road and still currently reside here in my hometown. My father's family have been residents of the Lead Mines area for nearly 80+ years.
I'm currently self-employed, operating Full Throttle Kustoms and Ogles Towing & Recovery for the last 14 years. In doing this, I've had the opportunity to work closely with emergency services; which has allowed me to see and hear the needs and issues, not only within my district, but the county as a whole. Having the ability to network with locals has broadened my horizons to community needs as well
I have a Law Enforcement background graduating from Wytheville Community College with an Associates in Police Science and a certificate in Law Enforcement.
My greatest achievements in life are my children.
I decided to run for Board of Supervisors because of agricultural land being over-developed in our district and throughout the county. Our community is very unhappy with all the industrial development of farmland and our natural resources that make this place special. The Lead Mines District needs a powerful voice on the board because our corner of the county is often forgotten and needs to be a primary decision-maker in the future of this county we all call home.
