I have lived in McDowell County all my life. And I love it here!

I am blessed to have been raised by two loving parents (Steve and Doris Green) that kept me in church my entire childhood (and I still attend to this day). Trusting in God was instilled in me from a very early age and I am thankful to say that He has never failed me!

My father owned several small businesses; one being that he sold harps (musical instruments). I was privileged to join my parents as they traveled all across the US and even into Canada going to music festivals. My parents were a good example of Godly principles and a strong work ethic. I received a love of solving problems and an insatiable desire to learn from my Dad as well.

After graduating Valedictorian from Iaeger High School in 2002. I received my bachelor’s degree from Concord University. I started to work in the coal industry at Coal Mountain for Bluestone Coal. A little less than a year later, I went to work for Alpha Natural Resources where I worked the next 10 years. Shortly after I joined Alpha, I married my childhood sweetheart, a McDowell County girl, Andrea, and God blessed us with three wonderful children: Josef, Joselyn and Jeremiah.

In 2016 I was laid off when Alpha went into bankruptcy and the insurance industry found me. I started my own insurance agency in November 2016 and God has truly blessed my company. Through God’s help, an boy from McDowell County was able to grow my company until I have offices in McDowell, Wyoming and Mercer Counties with 7 employees helping over 2,000 of our friends and neighbors with their home and auto insurance.

In 2022, I saw that the county had a need for a quality laundromat, God again blessed, and I was able to open Sure Clean Laundries in Welch. Many say it is the nicest laundromat they have ever been in. (Not bragging, just giving honor to God for what He allowed me to accomplish.)

I am passionate in everything I do. I strive to make things better. That is what I enjoy, that is what makes me "tick". I love our county, I love our state, I love the US! I feel very honored and blessed to be able to be a small part of standing up and fighting for US!

I couldn't imagine living anywhere else, I couldn't imaging working anywhere else, I couldn't imagine raising my family anywhere else, I couldn't imagine worshiping anywhere else.

McDowell County is home, McDowell County is AWESOME, McDowell County is always worth fighting for!!
