I was raised in a little community in upstate South Carolina. Laurens had just enough influence on me to shape me into the man I am today. I have a younger brother and two godly parents. After graduating from Lighthouse Christian Academy, I met the love of my life, Kasey. We moved to Pelzer, South Carolina, in 2013 and fell in love with the area. People in southern Greenville County are similar to those in Laurens. They are quiet, laid back, and know what they want out of life. My wife is a T.D. Bank Commercial loan specialist, and I currently work for ZF Transmission in Gray Court, South Carolina. During this time, we are juggling three boisterous children, Nolan, Connor, and Savannah. I'm also finishing up my bachelor's degree in software development at Grand Canyon University this year. I enjoy spending time assisting people. In 2022, I joined up to be a high school football official in response to a state-wide lack of officials. In previous years, I volunteered to assist the Main Street Laurens Organization with event planning and organization. I have been a Christian by faith since the 13th of June in 2010. During the time that I was a member of Laurens Pentecostal Holliness Church, Pastor Brian Brock was pastoring there. I was called upon to serve the church in his absence by leading the service with a special speaker.
