My Side of the Fence
My Side of the Fence is an attempt to get more information regarding the Prince William County / Manassas area out there. We'll be interviewing local leaders - political, business, community - you name it, we'll talk to them. The format is simple - come on in and lets talk about it.
I've lived in Manassas my entire life. Served on any number of boards and was on the Manassas City Council for two terms. I've run my IT consulting business in Manassas for 25 years. Just like my blog from years gone by, i want this to be positive.
