As Mayor of Portsmouth, Virginia and with prior service as a City Councilman, I combine a track record of public service with deep private-sector expertise. For more than two decades, I’ve guided organizations of all sizes through the complexities of employee benefits, helping them strengthen workforce support while streamlining operations.

 

As the Owner and Founder of Commonwealth Employee Benefit Solutions and CEBS Insurance, I design tailored benefit programs, negotiate with carriers, and implement forward-thinking strategies that align with each client’s objectives. My process emphasizes clear communication, compliance, and the smart use of technology to ease administrative demands and enhance employee education.

​

I’m a Certified Health Services Manager and licensed Property & Casualty Agent, offering hands-on HR consulting, compliance guidance, and benefits communication strategies designed to help businesses thrive.

​

I also have a special passion for serving seniors, simplifying Medicare and helping individuals choose health plans that truly fit their needs.

​

Whether leading from city hall, advising in the boardroom or helping small businesses with smarter, cost-effective solutions, I am committed to building stronger communities through strategic vision, collaborative leadership, and practical solutions.
