Leadership Cherokee is a program of the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce and is designed
to prepare and build upon leadership resources within our county. Each class is comprised of leaders and emerging leaders in our county. 

If Cherokee County is to achieve its potential, the people must be aware of the social, economic, educational and governmental needs of the community. The participants profit from getting to know each other and from the formal and informal exchange of ideas and experiences. They gain knowledge from the overall program on many subjects, thus preparing them for a more active leadership role
in the community.

In addition to his fishing career, he is involved in the Cherokee County 4-H chapter where he teaches kids about fishing and the outdoors. He is also active in the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce and helps promote the area at various travel, fishing and hunting shows, and in the past, he has been a big supporter of the Chamber’s annual Take A Kid Fishing tournament.
