He serves on the Democratic Party of Arkansas Executive Committee, representing the 4th Congressional District, and is the 1st Vice President of the Democratic Party of Lafayette County. He is also a founding member of the Lafayette County Leadership Council, a nonprofit dedicated to community service and improving quality of life.
His civic engagement extends further through service as District Governor for Lions Club International District 7L, as Past President of the Stamps Rotary Club, and as an active, lifelong member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.

He earned both his Bachelor of Science in Business Management and Master of Science in Management/Public Relations from the University of Maryland University College and went on to achieve a Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Leadership Studies from the University of Central Arkansas. He is also a certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt.
