He currently serves as a member of the West Tennessee Drug Court Steering Committee, and serves as a board member to Hope of Martin, St. John’s Community Services, Exchange Club Carl Perkins Center, Tennessee Soybean Festival, and Martin Business Association, in addition to being an ex-officio member of the Martin Industrial Board and Martin Beautiful organizations. He is also a member of the Martin Rotary Club and serves as the Tennessee State Chairman and National Co-Chair to the Delta Leadership Network.

Communities grow stronger when citizens are consistently engaged to do things together connecting them with others. If we can continue to do just that here in Martin, we will have growth in retail, industry, and population–as well as UT Martin.
