Chip served on the planning board for the town of Mint Hill for nearly 10 years. He was proud to call Mint Hill “home” and worked hard to make sure it was a place others were proud of too. That same sentiment led him to serve on the HOA in his beloved neighborhood for many years. He loved the relationship he had with all of his neighbors.

He played softball starting at a very young age and played well into his adulthood. You would never find him far from a ball or glove…even in his home office.
