Life and career
[edit]Arp earned a degree in civil engineering from The Citadel and a master of science in civil engineering from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.[2] He is a licensed professional engineer and structural engineer and the president of Arp Engineering in Monroe, North Carolina.[2] He represents Union County, North Carolina, in the General Assembly.[2]
In February 2025, Dean Arp saved the life of a North Carolina resident in Richmond County from a house fire.[3][4][5] Representative Arp noticed a burning mobile home along U.S. Route 1. Arp went into the burning home and found an elderly woman stuck in a wheelchair unable to escape. Arp pulled the woman to safety; she was later identified as a 77-year-old cancer and stroke survivor named Esther. Arp contributed to a fundraiser for the continued financial and medical support of Esther following the fire and spoke of the unique bond they now share.[6] His actions were honored by the United States House of Representatives by Congressmen Mark Harris and Tim Moore.[7]
