Rutherford County Trustee
The Trustee serves as the treasurer of the county and in this position, he must implement a sound cash management policy because of its affect on other county offices and on taxpayers. The office serves as the county bank since it handles all receipts and disbursements for the operating departments of general government, public education, and highways. The Trustee is responsible for billing and collecting property taxes, maintaining accurate records of property tax payments, managing the total cash of the county, and investing the idle cash funds.

Why are you running for Trustee?
How does your background prepare you to serve as the Trustee?
What will be your top priority for the office of Trustee, if you are elected?
I believe being an elected official requires a desire to serve the community unselfishly and to perform the duties of the office with commitment and competency.
I proudly graduated from Middle Tennessee Christian School, have earned an under graduate degree from David Lipscomb in Finance & Economics, and earned a Masters Degree in Business Administration from MTSU. Having also been involved for many decades in a successful office supply business, I believe my background in customer service, business management and training in finance is beneficial to the citizens of Rutherford County.
I want to be innovative in making the Trustee’s office convenient and for the office to be the most helpful place to do business.
