Certification

Biological Wastewater level A

Beekeeping, golf, hunting and fishing

I have played golf since I was in high school and recently started playing more after my son Graduated from Clemson. Hunting and fishing are things I enjoy, more for just being outdoors. I recently began beekeeping and I have grown to enjoy it more and more. It has a calming and relaxing appeal that I did not expected. I look forward to my first honey harvest.
