Fire Chief and Emergency Management Coordinator
Town of Lake Lure
I have served the Town of Lake Lure since October 2008 and currently hold the roles of Fire Chief, Emergency Management Coordinator, and Deputy Town Manager. I bring honds-on experience and strategic leadership in emergency services and municipal operations.
Since 2018, I have led the Towns fire and emergency management efforts, playing a central role in navigating major incidents such as the Party Rock Fire in 2016 (over 7000 acre fire and firefighters from 27 different states/regions), Hurricanes Alberto and Micheal, and other significant storms events. I feel like my leadership has been instrumental in protecting both residents and the regions natural assets during times of crisis. I hold an associate's degree in Fire Protection Technologies and known for a steady approach to emergency planning, public safety coordination, and interagency collaboration. As Deputy Town Manager, I also support Lake Lure's broader operational goals and long-term community resilience.
