My <br /> BBA degree is Finance, and my MBA is in Marketing. <br /> Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board <br /> I have been interested in being more involved in my community for a while. This led me to join <br /> the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks when I lived in Connecticut. When my wife and I moved <br /> back to her hometown (Durham)we built our home on her great grandparents' property, I have <br /> been looking for a way to be more involved with our community. <br /> How would your particpation on this board contribute to the diversity of viewpoints? <br /> While my extended family has deep roots to the area, I bring a newcomer's perspective to work <br /> for the future of our community. I recognize and appreciate the importance of traditions, as they <br /> are the ribbons that tie one generation to the next. <br /> Do you have any personal or business interest(s)that could create a conflict of interest <br /> (either real or perceived) if you are appointed to this board? <br /> Historic Preservation Commission <br /> Please explain how your background, education and experience is relevant to this board <br />
