Leadership Lumpkin County 2026

I'm a business consultant with 24 years of experience, including roles as a licensed real estate agent in Alabama and Georgia, former director of operations for a billion-dollar company, and a congressional intern. I specialize in helping companies grow through operational improvements, team development, and strategic turnarounds across HVAC, distribution, and service industries.

Giving back is a core value—I've volunteered with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Special Olympics, Salvation Army, and Toys for Tots. I’ve also run for public office twice, aiming to lead with integrity and make a difference.

I'm happily married to my dream girl Svitlana for 15 years, and we’re raising our son Alex in beautiful Lumpkin County. We love this community and are proud to call it home.

I’m a retired Army veteran, former educator, current County Commissioner, and active Realtor®. With over 25 years of military service, I’ve built a reputation for dependability, professionalism, and a strong work ethic.

I began my career at 18 as an Airborne Ranger in the 75th Ranger Regiment, later becoming a top-performing Recruiter and earning a direct commission as an Infantry Officer. I served in Iraq and Afghanistan, finishing as an Inspector General.

After retiring, I led the JROTC program at Lumpkin County High School for over 10 years and I am currently serving in my second term as County Commissioner.

Today, my mission is helping others through real estate. My wife and I enjoy life on our Chestatee River homestead, and I’d be honored to help you find your dream home.

With over 20 years of deep roots in Lumpkin County, I am proud to serve our community as a successful Realtor with United Country Premier Properties. In addition to my career in real estate, I homeschool my three teenage sons (one just graduated!), and I value the flexibility and connection that comes with both roles. My family and I enjoy making the most of North Georgia’s natural beauty through outdoor activities such as backpacking, camping, trail running, and road trips. I love helping people connect - whether to others or to local resources and community.
