As the son of a public school educator, the value of education opportunities for all children was always of great importance. My professional connections with CIS Wake co-founders, Glenn Williams and Alex Holmes, introduced me to CIS, but the mission and the people hooked me.

Communities In Schools of Wake County has played a significant role in my life. The organization has supported me in several ways from elementary school to my masters degree. The dedication and commitment of the network is unmatched. I am proud to be a board member and honored that I have the opportunity to pay it forward.
