With over 50 years of dedicated service at Bonitz Companies, where I currently serve as Executive Vice President, my professional journey has been deeply rooted in leadership and community engagement. My career began early as a Page in the South Carolina General Assembly while attending the University of South Carolina, an experience that laid the foundation for my lifelong commitment to civic and professional service.
I have the privilege of serving on several prestigious boards, including the Foundation Board, the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) National Board, the South Carolina Wildlife Partnership Board of Directors, and the Governor’s Agriculture School John De La Howe Foundation Board. In addition to my corporate responsibilities, I am proud to contribute as Vice President of Timmerman School in Columbia, SC.
As a longstanding member of the NWTF since 1974—joining through Tom Rodgers—I have been an active advocate for wildlife conservation and the preservation of our natural heritage. My wife and I are also timber and hay farmers in Edgefield, SC, where we are committed to sustainable agricultural practices and land stewardship.
