Mr. Costley stated that he is “tremendously excited to lead the North Carolina Humanities Council at a time when the value of the humanities is at a premium.” Current events have demonstrated that we need to understand each other and the world in which we live more accurately and fully. That is the essence of the humanities. Through the richness of literature, history, religion, philosophy, and a host of other disciplines falling under the umbrella of the humanities, we can celebrate and better understand the human condition.

His legal practice focuses on estate planning, trust and estate administration, planning for children and adults with special needs, business succession planning, and charitable familial and philanthropic counseling.
