The Chief Executive Officer of Elite Disaster Consulting (EDC), a minority owned corporation, headquartered in North Carolina with a strong back background in grant management and program administration. I have supported the disaster recovery efforts of several states, including North Carolina, New York, Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Puerto Rico. As a Federal Policy Advisor with nearly 20 years of experience in all facets of disaster mitigation and recovery, I am skilled in the processes of federal grant formulation and technologies that position communities and infrastructures to recover and rebuild following disasters. I have served in numerous capacities in recovery work for eight hurricanes (Florence, Michael, Matthew, Irma, Maria, Sandy, Irene, and Floyd) and several severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding events.
