He was elected as the Member of Parliament for the seat of Cat Island, Rum Cay & San Salvador in 2002[2] and is a Senior Partner of Davis & Co.. He was formerly a partner of Christie, Ingraham & Co. with Hubert Ingraham and Perry Christie.[3]

He was elected as the Deputy Leader of the Progressive Liberal Party, the country's oldest political party, in November 2009. He served as the Bahamas's Minister of Works from 2012–2017.
