"Working with the Town of Thompson’s Station is a real full circle for me. When I began my career, I was fortunate to work with some of the early leaders of the Town, including Cherry Jackson and Sarah Benson, in the early 2000s. Thompson’s Station is a special place and I’m honored to serve the residents, property owners, elected officials, appointed officials, and Town Staff as Interim Town Administrator."
