Phil graduated from McIntosh High School in 2008 and later earned his Doctorate in Chiropractic from Sherman College in 2016. He and his wife Gillian own and operate a local chiropractic practice in Peachtree City. As small business owners, they understand the challenges families face and believe government should be efficient, accountable, and fiscally responsible.

Phil has served on multiple local nonprofit boards supporting families, veterans, and individuals facing hardship. He also served on a SPLOST advisory group reviewing proposed capital projects for elected officials. He currently serves on the Fayette County Board of Health, working with community leaders to ensure responsible oversight and practical solutions that protect the well being of the county.

On November 7, 2025, Phil and Gillian welcomed their son, Philip. Becoming a father strengthened Phil’s commitment to preserving the safe neighborhoods, strong schools, and opportunities that make Fayette County one of the best places to raise a family.

As a husband, father, business owner, and public servant, Phil believes Fayette County deserves steady leadership and common sense decisions that put residents first.

ON THE ISSUES

No to MARTA Expansion

Fayette County chose its path years ago. We are not a large metropolitan city like Atlanta, and we should not be pressured into becoming one. MARTA expansion brings long term tax obligations and permanent infrastructure changes that cannot be undone. I do not support bringing MARTA into Fayette County. We can address mobility and traffic concerns through local control and regional cooperation without surrendering our identity.

Phil’s Priorities

Yes to a Vocational and Technical School

Not every student needs a four year university. Fayette County should lead in workforce development. A collaborative effort between the county, municipalities, and school system to bring a VoTech campus here would give students real skills in trades, technology, public safety, and healthcare. This strengthens families and supports local businesses at the same time.

Yes to Fully Supporting Law Enforcement and First Responders

Our way of life depends on strong public safety. I fully support our Sheriff’s Office, Marshal’s Office, firefighters, and EMS personnel. Competitive compensation, proper equipment, and leadership that backs them publicly and consistently are essential. Fayette County should remain one of the safest counties in Georgia.

No to More Data Centers

Large scale data centers change the character of a community. They require massive power infrastructure, create noise concerns, and provide limited long term local employment compared to the land they consume. Growth must make sense for Fayette families, not just outside corporations. I do not support approving additional data centers in our county.

Yes to Lower Taxes and Fiscal Discipline

Government does not create money. Taxpayers do. Before asking families for more, we must examine spending, eliminate waste, and prioritize core services. I support lowering the tax burden where possible and ensuring every dollar collected is used responsibly.

Yes to Common Sense Governance

Not every issue is partisan. Many are practical. Roads must function. Budgets must balance. Permits must be fair. Decisions should be transparent. I am a Republican who believes in steady leadership, open communication, and representing all citizens, not just the loudest voices in the room.

Yes Investing in crucial infrastructure

Fayette County’s water system is one of our most important public assets. Critical upgrades are needed to ensure long term reliability and prevent costly emergency repairs. I am committed to prioritizing necessary improvements so we stay ahead of failures instead of reacting to them.

Yes to Keeping Crime Low

We are fortunate to live in a safe county. That did not happen by accident. It happened because of strong law enforcement, engaged citizens, and responsible leadership. We must stay proactive, not reactive, when it comes to crime prevention.
