Bio: After traveling around the world as an Army officer I settled in Charlottesville when my wife attended UVA Law School. My boys attended Charlottesville Public Schools from Burnley Moran thru Charlottesville High School and I continued my construction business, specializing in renovation of old houses. When my boys left the house to start their careers I became involved in the civic and political life of the city. I was concerned that the city seemed to be losing its focus on ‘community’ and its reliance on finding solutions to governmental problems from a balanced representation of all citizens.
