He indicates that he is pro-growth, believes in financial prudence, and thinks strategic planning experience can add value to the council and city management. He says, “Clearly, we are a growing community, one of the fastest areas for commercial and residential growth in Eastern North Carolina. We need to plan to provide and improve citizen services and facilities during the next few years”.
