It was a pleasure to welcome Congressman William Timmons and members of his D.C. and District staffs to Mauldin on Monday. BridgeWay Station is a great example of what can happen when local government and private investment work together toward a shared vision.

25 yrs ago today, tragedy changed us forever. First responders ran toward what most of us would run away from. In Mauldin, we're fortunate to have dedicated men and women in our FD and PD who would do the same. May we remember. May we honor.

Labor Day is a good reminder that strong communities are built by people who work hard, take pride in what they do, and contribute in countless ways to the place they call home. I hope everyone has a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable Labor Day with family and friends.

We had a great time Friday morning with the team from WSPA as they visited Mauldin for last week’s “Zip Trip.” Thanks to @oliviadonnellly for having me on “Trivia with Olivia.” (Video ©2026 Nexstar Media Inc. All Rights Reserved.)

GE Vernova Park shows what can happen when public and private sectors come together around a vision. This stadium gives soccer a home, creates a new destination for residents and visitors, and strengthens Mauldin’s position as a hub for sports, entertainment, and econ development

Memorial Day is more than the "unofficial start of summer." It's a day of remembrance for the brave Americans who gave their lives in defense of our nation and our freedoms. Today, we honor those who never came home. May we always remember them with gratitude and respect.

I ate at the one in Mauldin on Friday. If you’re ever passing through, send me a DM. I’m buying.
For what it’s worth, I love Skins hot dogs. Chapel approached me in January about doing this. I really appreciate him taking the time. This is something I’ll show my kids. Hope you all read and enjoy.

Not saying I’ve ever wanted to do this, not I’m not not saying it, either.

Today we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his commitment to justice, service, and bringing people together. His words and actions remind us that progress comes from listening, leading with humility, and working toward a future that lifts everyone.

This week, I was sworn in for a new term on Mauldin City Council and honored to be chosen again by my colleagues to serve as Mayor Pro Tempore. Serving Mauldin is a privilege, and having my family by my side for the swearing-in made it even more special.

We honor the men and women who have served in our nation’s armed forces. Their sacrifices made our freedoms possible. As the son and grandson of veterans, I’m especially grateful for their example of integrity, humility, and love of country. To all who served, thank you.
