Deep Roots

I have a strong passion for our city, and this was taught to me at an early age. I am proud to be a third-generation Forest Acres resident and blessed to raise my family on the same street I grew up on. I learned to ride my bike on these streets, played baseball at the park, and practiced cross country on our hills. I grew up going to Forest Lake Presbyterian Church and graduated from A.C. Flora High School.

Public Servant

After graduating from The Citadel, I moved to Washington, D.C., and began what would become a 17-year public service career, working in both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives.

From being a Boy Scout at Bethel United Methodist Church to Capitol Hill to City Hall, I have always looked for ways to give back to the community I live in. I have continued to work across all levels of government (federal, state, local) to grow and cultivate our relationships with elected officials and regulatory agencies.

Small Business Employee

I work for a small, locally owned turf management company, and we service many Forest Acres residents and businesses. I hold a certificate in Landscape and Horticulture from Midlands Technical College.

Husband & Father

I’ve been married for 21 years, and my wife, Dana (Mishoe), is also from Columbia. When we moved back to the area in 2016, there was no question as to where we wanted to live!

Dana and I have two middle school-aged boys. We’re involved in their school and help out with their sports teams and extracurricular activities. We’re members of First Presbyterian Church.
