My family and I moved from Houston, TX to Martinsville, VA because we believe in the potential of this city wholeheartedly. I chose to serve on the Board of Uptown Partnership because I want to play an active role in helping Martinsville realize it’s potential. I believe Martinsville has reached a tipping point where we are beginning to see meaningful change through a holistic revitalization effort. Uptown Partnership is at the center of this revitalization effort and I want to help the organization continue to move forward in a positive way.
