NOMINATING COMMITTEE CANDIDATE

I first visited Seabrook Island as a guest several times a year before purchasing my first property here in early 2017 as a second home. I quickly fell in love with the community, its people, and the many outdoor activities the island has to offer. Within a few months, I made Seabrook Island my full-time home, and I have never looked back.

In 2020, I began dating Debbie Banecker , who also lives on Seabrook Island. After 6 years together we were married this past June.

Before moving to Seabrook Island I spent 20 years in Charlotte, North Carolina. My entire professional career was in the insurance industry, with my final 20 years spent as a National Account Executive for an international insurance company, where I specializing in large commercial property accounts. I retired in 2021.

Since retiring, I have enjoyed an active lifestyle that includes golf and tennis, while also giving back through volunteer service. I have volunteered with the Water Wellness Mission, an organization that provides wells and access to clean water for families in need on Johns and Wadmalaw Islands. I am also active in volunteer work at my local church.

Additionally, I volunteer with the Seafarers Ministry, which serves maritime workers at local ports regardless of nationality, race, or religion by providing support, transportation, and reading materials.

I am interested in helping facilitate SIPOA’s continued good work to preserve and enhance Seabrook Island as a special place to live. I believe my professional experience, commitment to service, and appreciation for our community would allow me to make a meaningful contribution to SIPOA’s ongoing efforts to protect our island’s unique character, maintain its quality of life, and serve the interests of our property owners.
