Who am I? Well, it started over 30 years ago in a
little town called Cordele, Georgia about 10:00 in the
morning. Yeah, I never did like to get up real early.
That's where I was born and raised for the next 18 years of
my life. My passions growing up were fishing, hunting,
and baseball. I was going pro in something, just
didn't know what yet! Many summer days were spent on
the lake or at practice, the falls then turned to chasin'
deer, doves, quail, and even squirrels. Hey, when you
like to shoot stuff you stay in the woods all the time!
My family was always a huge
influence in my life. My grandparent, aunts, uncles,
cousins, and all in between always supported the outdoors
and sports that all of us participated in. To tell you
the truth we have a ton of talent in this big ol' family.
From fishing to football, you never know what will happen
next!
In 1995, I graduated from
Crisp County High School and headed to college. Heck,
I didn't even know where I wanted to go or what I wanted to
be. Sounds like most 18 year olds huh? Chasing
the dream of baseball, I venture to Abraham Baldwin College
in Tifton, Georgia. That lasted a couple years when
one of my close friends, Todd Clements, took me out in
Valdosta, Georgia at Valdosta State University. It
didn't take me long to decide that is where I wanted to be
and finish my college career. Finally, after some ups
and downs, I graduated from VSU with a hard sought degree of
Bachelor's of Science in Computer Information Systems.
Ladies and gentleman, that was one of the toughest things I
have ever done in my life. It has made me a much
stronger person, and I like to think smarter too, but my
wife would beg to differ!
Speaking of my lovely wife,
Beth, we met while in college at VSU together. I'll
have to admit, from the first time I saw her, I got chills
all over me and that lil' tingling feeling inside.
Yep, you just know when you find the "one".
She is one of the kindest people you will ever meet
and I wouldn't trade her for the world. We both share love for the
outdoors from yard work to planting food plots, she's right
there with me all the time. |
