Thanks to Cumming's citizens, greatest on earth, for allowing me to serve as a member of the Cumming City Council for 73% of my adult life. You have allowed me to be a part of the building of the first recreation park in Cumming and Forsyth County, to be a part of the planning of the expansion of a state of the art water and sewer infrastructure, see two new City Halls Built (1974 & 2002), assist in the restoration of the Cumming Historic Cemetery, Cumming Historic School and Downtown Streets scape Project, Veterans War Memorial, Cumming Country Fair and Festival, Heritage Village and be an integral part of the establishment of the Veterans Alliance and Sawnee Mountain Honor Guard. The one accomplishment that makes me most proud is that for 22 years the City has continued to increase in excellence without the burden of property taxes on its residents. I feel fortunate to be a Councilman for the City of Cumming and will proudly serve as long as my constituents elect me.
