June 5, 2026
To the Mayor, City Council, and Citizens of Seadrift,
After much thought and prayer, I have made the difficult decision to resign from my position as Alderman for the City of Seadrift, effective 06/05/2026.
Serving the citizens of this community for the past six years has truly been one of the greatest honors and blessings of my life. I am deeply grateful for the confidence and trust the people of this city placed in me to serve on the City Council and as Mayor Pro Tern. I have genuinely enjoyed working alongside fellow council members, city staff, and the community to help move our city forward.
During my time on council, I worked hard to serve with dedication, integrity, and a sincere desire to make a positive difference. I am especially proud of securing the grant funding for the sidewalk and playground project, knowing it will benefit families and future generations in our community for years to come. Serving as Mayor Pro Tern also gave me the opportunity to work even harder for our citizens, and I am thankful for every challenge and accomplishment along the way.
While this decision was not easy, my future plans will require me to move out of the city. Because of that, I felt it was in the best interest of the city to step down before budget season begins so the council may have the opportunity to appoint someone to fill the seat and continue moving forward without interruption.
I want to sincerely thank the citizens of Seadrift for your support, encouragement, and trust throughout these years. I also want to thank God for placing me on this path and blessing me with the opportunity to serve this wonderful community. I ask for your continued prayers as I begin this next chapter in life, and I will certainly keep this city and its future in my prayers as well.
Thank you again for allowing me the privilege to serve.
