Why have you decided to serve as a Torchbearer for the JLB?
As a Birmingham native, I am honored and excited to be a small part of a great effort to serve. I am proud of our town and want to invest in our community to create a better place for all for years to come. I am happy to have the opportunity to support the mission of the JLB and One Place.

What/who inspires you to be a Light in our community?
The many current and past Torchbearers are an inspiration to me. They have made a huge impact on our community, and I look forward to following their example. I am also inspired by my wife and my daughter, due to be born in April, to be a Light in our community; I want to do everything I can to make Birmingham a better place for them and others to live and thrive in.
