     Stanley has proudly been a lifelong resident of Limestone County and has seen it grow from a humble cotton growing community into a pillar of technology, aerospace, and industry. Stanley learned the principles of business and management by working on the family farm; where they raised cotton, soybeans, and corn. During the Vietnam era, he served with the National Guard 1343rd Engineering Battalion from 1966-1972, and held the rank of Staff Sergeant by the end of his service. He has been married to his wife, Wanda, since 1969 and they have a son, Stan, daughter-in-law, Shaviny, and two granddaughters, Madelyn and Molly.

     Before being elected in 2010 as Chairman of the Limestone County Commission, Stanley had the privilege of previously serving the people of Limestone County for 14 years on the county commission, eight of those years as Chairman.  Since leaving office in 2002, Stanley stayed active in the Association of County Commissions of Alabama (ACCA) and had the opportunity of working in the private sector consulting on various projects with local governments and private businesses.

     Stanley attended the Alabama County Government Institute (ACGI) through the Auburn University Center for Governmental Service, being one of the first to graduate from the institute. The ACGI works with the county officials to explore ways for counties to enhance their revenue, economic development, and growth to effectively build for the future with budgeting, planning and effective project management. Some of Stanley's most important accomplishments while previously serving on the Limestone County Commission were the building of the Limestone County Annex, the development of the current Solid Waste Plan and the construction of the Limestone County Sherriff's Department and Detention Center. Stanley has served on several boards; including the Federal Intermediate Bank of Jackson, Ms., Farm Credit Bank, United Way, and the Board of Directors of the ACCA as President.

     Stanley's passion is creating jobs and luring industry to Limestone County. Attracting business to this area and creating good jobs for the people of Limestone County is a high priority and will continue to be the foundation of his platform while serving as Chairman. Stanley understands the commitment and hard work it takes to lure industry and has been a part of several successful recruitment trips to Japan, Korea and various states across America.  

     Stanley considers it an honor and a privilege to serve the citizens of Limestone County. He will keep the best interest of the taxpayer in the forefront of every decision, and will work hard to provide safe roads, bring jobs to Limestone County and operate the local government in an efficient and effective manner.
