Grammy Museum

I began my career as a Professional In Scouting in 1998 as a District Executive in Washington District. In 2002, I was promoted to a Field Director managing 4 executives and 15 counties in the Northwest Mississippi. 

For more than 17 years, I served the Chickasaw Council in district operations, business manager at camp, camp director for 3 years, capital campaign adviser in Mississippi, special events adviser for the Delta Distinguished Citizen Dinner and golf tournament, OA Adviser, Council training committee adviser, Mississippi car tag adviser, and many other capacities. I am Woodbadge trained and have earned the Professional Circle award. I also earned the council's award of excellence, Manus-Long Award, a record 3 times in my career. I started a Women's Affinity group within the council to mentor to women. 

In 2015, I had a special opportunity to become the Executive Director of the GRAMMY Museum Mississippi. After more than three years serving as a Board of Director, I understood the impact that this project would have on this area of the country. With my experience of development, education, love of music and passion for Mississippi and the Delta area, this was an opportunity that I welcomed. I became the Director of the Museum on January 15. 

I am very active in my community. I have served as the President of Cleveland Rotary Club, Booster Club Board member at Hayes Cooper Center and on the Board of Directors of the GRAMMY Mississippi Museum. I am the Past President of the Cleveland Country Club and a past member of the Board of Directors for the Cleveland-Bolivar County Chamber of Commerce. I am a Paul Harris Fellow and have received the 2012 Chamber Award for Service. I am a Brotherhood member of the Order of the Arrow. I am also active in my church as a Vacation Bible School volunteer. 

I am married to Lee, and have 3 children. I live in Cleveland and attend Covenant Presbyterian Church.
