I am 65 years old and have been a Raleigh/Wake County native for 59 years. My wife, Duden, and I have two grown children, Eleanor and Kemp. Our children were educated in the Raleigh Public School system from the first through the 12th grades. I went to grammar school from the first through the fifth grades and junior high school in Raleigh before going away to high school, college and graduate school. I have a Bachelor of Science degree from Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, and a Masters Degree in Business from Wharton School of Finance, University of Pennsylvania.

My professional career after graduate school began with Wachovia Bank. I was located in Raleigh and Winston Salem and headed the commercial real estate mortgage divisions in both of those cities. After leaving Wachovia in 1972 and for the next 18 years, I developed about 4,000 housing units (apartments, single family homes, and townhouses) from Richmond, Virginia to Savannah, Georgia.

All of the properties developed and/or constructed are excellent examples of how to maintain the environment while providing housing. Some local examples of my environmentally friendly developments are the Woods of North Bend, Summit at Avent Ferry, and Hidden Oaks apartments in Raleigh; the Stafford and Thistledown town homes and Whitehall cluster homes in Raleigh; the Oak Hollow and Page Mill apartments in Cary; the Pine Winds and Bryan Woods apartments in Garner, the Woods Edge and Park Ridge apartments in Durham; and the Bradford Place apartments in Chapel Hill.

From 2001 through 2004, I served on the Raleigh City Council. I was appointed Chairman of the Comprehensive Planning Committee which handles the difficult zoning, site and subdivision applications for the Council. For the previous seven years, I served on the Raleigh Planning Commission (the last three as Chairman). This is a board appointed by the Raleigh City Council Wake County Commissioners. It reviews applications for real estate zoning changes and site/subdivision applications and gives its recommendation to the City Council for final approval.

I am pleased to currently serve in the North Carolina Senate representing the 15^th District. I have been appointed to the following Senate committees:

The Transportation Select Committee is directly involved with DOT.  These transportation assignments give District 15 residents direct input into the state’s funding of the Triangle’s critical highway and transportation needs.
