I was born December 14, 1979 in Gastonia, NC. I have lived all my
life in the small community of Iron Station. It's not even populated enough
to be a town. Before my high school years, my family usually owned
and raised about twenty pygmy goats at a time. I would, also, help
my maternal grandfather raise chickens and coon huntin' dogs (blue-tick
and walkers).
In high school, I was active in various arenas. I was a JV and varsity football trainer for all of my high school career. I played baseball during my Fr. and So. years. I helped coach girls varsity softball my senior year. I was a member of the BETA Club and other various academic clubs. I was senior class president. I was active in FCA all four years in high school. I started a Bible study at my school. I was a member of the High-Q team (a quiz bowl type team). We appeared on WTVI in Charlotte during the semi-final rounds of the UNCC competition (we finished fourth out of sixty teams). My Jr. and Sr. years of high school found me working twenty hours a week. Despite all my activities, I finished high school as sixth in my class. Now, I am a So. at Gardner-Webb University. I am a Religious Studies major whose hair changes colors at least twice a month. My calling is in the pastorate. I am the Student Entertainment Association Chair of Gardner-Webb University. I am the '99 GWU Freshman History Student of the Year. I am also ranked near the top of my class. I attend Pearl Baptist Church of Iron Station which I have attended for most of my life. I really enjoy hanging-out at the Waffle House with my friend Liz and a host of others. |
