Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards:
None
Boards/Commissions applied for:
Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT)
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
As an attorney, I have been trained in analyzing the law, which lends itself to analyzing all new
information. While I do not have any specific background in Planning, everyone has to get their
first experience somewhere. I am very interested in how our County develops and am adept at
getting up to speed in new areas quickly.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
Being a resident of an area that recently had a siginficant amount of activity at the BOCC (the
Eno Economic Development area), I attended several BOCC hearings and have grown very
interested in how our County is governed and the different advisory boards that delve into
various issues. My wife and I love this county and plan to continue rearing our children here and
thus have a vested interest in how the County moves forward. Given how important this advisory
board is, I was disappointed to see that my township is not represented at this time. I will be
pleased for any qualified applicant to receive this position, and would be honored to do so myself
to represent the interests of the folks in my area.
