Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
I have worked in restaurants a good deal of my life, so I understand what issues they face from
a beverage standpoint. I am also a graduate student at UNCs School of Government and
therefore have knowledge both of the problem surrounding under-aged drinking and the
challenges of local government. My mom is currently serving on the Shelby ABC Board, and I
have been fortunate to accompany her to a few conferences and learn more about the unique
challenges a state mandated, but community staffed and run ABC faces.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
I find all the challenges surrounding the ABC Board and serving the community is this way
fascinating. The state level commission is going through changes and I would value being a part
of that on a local level in my chosen community.

Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards:
I currently serve on the Chapel Hill Public Library Advisory Board, but I do not currently
nor have I ever served on an Orange County Advisory Board.
Boards/Commissions applied for:
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
I am a North Carolina native, growing up in Columbus County, and have been a resident of
Orange County since 1993, my freshman year at UNC. While an undergrad here, I worked in
several bars and restaurants in Chapel Hill, both cooking and bartending, prior to working at
UNC for several years, first in finance administration and then university development. In 2010, 1
returned to UNC to attend law school, and I have been a practicing attorney in Chapel Hill since
graduating from law school and passing the bar exam in 2013. In that capacity, I have
represented clients with alcohol infractions as well as advised small businesses on alcohol
regulations. I ve also been a customer lawfully for 22 years now.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
As a longtime resident, homeowner, and parent in this community, I have a vested interest in its
governance. I also feel somewhat connected to the local food and spirits scene, having worked
in restaurants years ago and having more recently represented and consulted with restaurant
owners. I have followed closely the lobbying efforts of local icons Scott Maitland and Gary
Crunkleton and have a great appreciation for the level of engagement within our community.
Additionally, for the last several years, I have enjoyed my experience serving with the Chapel Hill

Public Library Board, and I look forward to becoming more active in additional capacities in the
community.
Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board:
Conflict of Interest:
I have no business interest that could create a conflict of interest, and, while I don t believe that I
have a personal interest that would be a real conflict either, I thought it worthwhile to disclose
that I worked in bars and restaurants many years ago and my wife is currently an employee of
Crook s Corner restaurant.
