Thank you for taking a few minutes to learn a little more about some of the subjects I am involved in.  I am computer and internet savvy, but have never blogged, so bear with me.  That fact and my general personality will guarantee an unconventional site in the future.

 In my career as State Representative I have always been proud to be transparent through the good and the bad.  I will continue to do so and therefore sleep well at night and mingle in town with honor.  In that vein, I will try to address all issues I can and support them with any pictures or documentation, either directly through posts here on this site or indirectly through links.

Representation is a two way street.  I can’t represent you if I don’t know what you want and need.  I stay active and visible in the district, but need communication to be effective.  Please never hesitate to contact me through this blog with questions, concerns or criticisms.  We are a citizen legislature in Tennessee - part time only.  Each of us are experts in one or two fields, but we are asked daily to discuss issues that affect many interests.  Your expertise in areas where I am lacking is paramount to me.  As you watch the news or speak to your neighbors, make sure I and my colleagues are also included.  An email, letter or phone call is very valuable and your efforts are never wasted with my office.
