Bo Davis

I am Bo Davis of Ocilla /Irwin County, a member of Irwin EMC for 49 years. My wife of 48 years, Karen Watson Davis was the Irwin Chief tax appraiser prior to retiring in 2016. We have two daughters, Brette (Kyle) Nyberg from Ocilla and Katie (Paul) Hearn from Smyrna. And we have 5 amazing grandchildren.

I grew up in Abbeville, graduating from Wilcox county high school in 1972.  In 1974, I moved to Ben Hill County and began my 32 year career with the Georgia Forestry commission as Ranger I. In 1984 I moved to Irwin County as Chief Ranger of the Irwin Unit. In 1997 I was promoted to District Ranger of the Tifton 11 county district, the position I held until my retirement in 2005. I continue to operate my small pecan farm.

In early 2007, I was hired by Wiregrass Ga. Tech as a part time adjunct commercial truck driving instructor. Working with other great instructors, we have trained several hundred men and women to obtain a CDL.

My family and I are members of Ocilla Baptist church where I have served as a deacon and Sunday school director. 

I am a member and Past Master of Ocilla Masonic lodge. Other community organizations that I have served in include Sunnydale Service Center (board chairman) and Ocilla Rotary Club (President 1994).

I would appreciate the opportunity to serve as Irwin County director of the EMC. I am asking for your vote at the upcoming annual drive/thru meeting.
