Summary
I was raised in Cedar Grove, North Carolina on my family's farm, which we have had since the mid-1800's. I began showing beef and dairy cows when I was 8 years old, and just retired at the end of my senior year of High School. I played baseball from when I was four until I graduated high school, and football from the seventh grade until my senior year. I was an officer in my High School's FFA program for all four years, while competing on several of our FFA competition teams. I was a leader in my middle and High School's Fellowship of Christian Athletes Club, and a low ranking officer in my high schools Student Government Association. I have been a volunteer fireman since I was 15 years old, which I plan to be a professional fireman upon graduation from college. I currently attend Appalachian State University with plans to graduate with a bachelor's degree in Business Management.

- I began working as a runner. I would fill up gas cans, grab tools, check mowers, pick up tree limbs at job sites, grab tools for various jobs we did, and just do any task asked of me.
- Next I moved to weedeating. I would spend every day edging sidewalks, flower beds, weedeating ditches, while also going around different trees and lawn ornaments.
- Now I have moved up to riding a lawn mower, and mowing the entire yards.
- During the falls I use a leaf blower and blow leaves out of flower beds, bushes, and around the houses. Then I use a lawn mower with a grass catcher and pick up the leaves off the yard and dump them.
