About

I grew up in a military family, and when my father retired from the Air Force, we moved back to his hometown of Jesup, Georgia. I attended high school in Jesup, then enlisted in the United States Army Reserve. I attended Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, then earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Georgia Southern University in 1998. Upon graduation, I was commissioned in the United States Army, where I served as a critical care nurse for twenty-two years and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel. Over the course of my military service, I deployed to the Middle East twice. I earned a Master of Science In Nursing as a Critical Care Clinical Nurse Specialist and a Post Masters Certificate as an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner from the University of Virginia.  

I retired from the Army in 2020 and moved my family to Bulloch County because of the local area’s excellent schools, community, and agrarian roots. I am currently a flight nurse with a private air ambulance company based in Statesboro. My wife (Jessica) and I have been married for 23 years. She is employed by the Bulloch County Board of Education. We have two children: Emma (19) is a Freshman at Georgia Southern, and Sarah (15) is a Freshman at Southeast Bulloch High School.

​Since retirement, I’ve volunteered at Southeast Bulloch High School in the Future Farmers of ​America and Health Occupations programs. I like to read, shoot competitively, ​and maintain our twenty-five-acre homestead in my spare time.
