Hard to believe it, but 20 years ago today I was appointed as Morrisville’s Emergency Management Director. Two decades later, I’m still serving in that role (alongside a few other hats!).

Even wilder to realize: on October 31st, I will reach the exact day where I have spent half my entire life in service to this community. Truly grateful for every year of it.

(Attached: The original meeting minutes from where it all started!)

Let’s show up for Morrisville tonight! 🏘️✨

Time is running out! You have until 8 PM tonight to grab dinner at Freddy's in Bolivar and tell them you're there for the Morrisville Community Association fundraiser. Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers will generously donate 15% of your order right back to our town!
Every bite helps us continue sponsoring the events that make our community special:

🎄 The Morrisville Christmas Parade
🎆 Our July 4th Fireworks
🧹 The City-Wide Cleanup

Treat the family to a steakburger and some frozen custard before the 8 PM deadline, and help us keep Morrisville festive. See you there! 🍔🍦

Chief Chris Chaney, Leslie, and I stopped by to visit two fantastic young entrepreneurs, Sophia and Desiree (supervised by their dad, Cameron), who are running a homemade lemonade stand!

Here are the details so you can grab a glass:

📍 Location: N. Magnolia Ave. (formerly S. Elm St. — head north just west of Dollar General, two houses north of Walnut St.)

⏰ Hours: Open today until dark or sold out!

📅 This Week: They plan on selling more days this week, so be sure to drive by and check as you pass through!

💵 Price: $2 per glass

The lemonade is made completely from scratch and is absolutely delicious — in fact, I had to get a second glass before heading out!

Come on out, show your support for Sophia and Desiree, and grab yourself a cold, refreshing drink! 🥤✨

Have a great day everyone!

Happy Independence Day! Festivities are starting off with a softball tournament and car show. I'm still an EMT so I figured I'd better stand by with an AED and medical bag in case anyone goes down.

Good evening! Please be aware of the weather to the west coming in. For those of you new to Morrisville or could use a refresher, this video has some important considerations about the FEMA shelter at the school you need to be aware of.

I'm hopefully going to get a bit of sleep before these storms get here but I'll be up once they approach Dade county to keep an eye on the conditions.

Stay safe and have a great evening!

Big news for Morrisville! It is likely a first in our town's history—and I doubt many other cities have ever experienced this either.

For the first time in over four years since since our City Clerk, Patty, began working for us, she reported that every single utility bill was paid in full before the new ones were sent out. There were ZERO DISCONNECTS this month!

​I want to extend a huge thank you to Patty for her diligent work, and a sincere thank you to all our residents. This success reflects our commitment to maintaining clear, written procedures that ensure everyone is treated fairly. We truly appreciate you all doing your part to keep our city running right!

***URGENT*** Due to a drop in pressure within the water system, water customers within the City of Morrisville are under a voluntary boil advisory until further notice. Pressure has since been restored. Thanks for understanding.

We dodged a twister tonight and about 100 of us met up at the FEMA shelter to ride out the storm. Last time I saw a wall cloud in town that clear was probably 18 years ago.

Thank you to Kody Mayhew for sharing the picture of the wall cloud. Alderman Michelle Crawford gets credit for the other pictures.

Special shout out to Rick J Davis with Polk County emergency management and Polk County 911 for the communications and working to send help if we needed it.

We also can't forget the Marion C. Early school District forgetting the grant and voters approving the construction of the FEMA shelter. I believe it has been in operation for about 11 years now and it has been a blessing for us.

Stay safe and try to get some rest before the next one gets here in a couple hours.

Polk County Emergency Management will be conducting a storm siren test at 10 am.
