Son of Gwinnett. Movement Builder. Fighter for GCo.
My story isn’t about a career; it’s about a commitment to the community that made me.
I grew up in the heart of Gwinnett County—in Norcross, where the world meets on Buford Highway. Like so many first-generation families, mine came here looking for a fair shot. I watched my parents work tireless hours to ensure my sister and I had the opportunities they never did.
GCo taught me that our community is a tapestry—vibrant, diverse, and only as strong as the threads that hold it together.
I am a proud product of Gwinnett County Public Schools. Attending one of the best high schools in our state right here in Gwinnett didn't just give me a world-class education; it gave me a sense of responsibility. I saw what happens when a community invests in its children, and I saw the doors that investment could open for a kid from Norcross.
My journey began over a decade ago, organizing in the streets long before I set foot on an Ivy League campus. During that time, I worked at Alston & Bird and the Federal Defender's office, where my eyes were opened to the profound systemic failures of our legal and social institutions. Seeing how the scales of justice were so often tilted against the most vulnerable didn't just frustrate me—it gave me a mission.
I eventually went on to Yale University, but my heart never left Georgia. I deepened my commitment to organizing because I wanted to understand the mechanisms of power—and why they fail so many of us. I spent years in the strategy rooms of U.S. Senators, Governors, and Members of Congress, learning how the gears of government turn—but also why they so often get stuck for families like mine.
It’s time to break through those systems and bring it home for Gwinnett working families.
