<br /> Other Comments:
<br /> I have lived in Orange County for nearly 4 years (Chapel Hill for 2 and Carrboro for 2),
<br /> have studied and taught at UNC-CH, and have explored the area extensively. I feel a
<br /> deep connection with the history and people of North Carolina, since I have visited the
<br /> state every year with my family since I was a little boy. Moreover, I have a long-standing
<br /> love for Orange County as my father attended Duke and I now attend UNC. I have
<br /> immersed myself in history books about Orange County, and have visited numerous
<br /> historic sites in Hillsborough, Chapel Hill and Carrboro. I appreciate and understand the
<br /> importance of historical preservation and believe my academic background and
<br /> experiences abroad have provided me with a solid foundation on which I will be able to
<br /> serve the greater good of the community. I would be honored to serve on the committee
<br /> and look forward to future contact. STAFF COMMENTS: Originally applied for Historic
