Appointed by the Mecklenburg County Commission, he has served on the stakeholders committees for both Mountain Island and Lake Wylie Watershed Protection and as past chairman of the Advisory Commission for the Charlotte Mecklenburg Utility Department. He also served on the Stormwater Advisory Task Force as an appointee of the Charlotte City Council and was instrumental in the creation of the City’s Stormwater Utility and the Stormwater Advisory Commission.
