He is an active member of the North Carolina Bar Association (NCBA) and was recently chosen as chair elect of the NCBA’s Senior Lawyers Division. He was also recognized by the North Carolina Supreme Court and designated as a North Carolina Pro Bono Honor Society member for contributing more than 50 hours of pro bono service in 2016.
