I'm a 1986 graduate of Memorial Day School. I attended Georgia Southern, played basketball for South College, tennis for Armstrong before transferring to UGA. In 1990 while at UGA, I was fortunate enough to be on the basketball team that won UGA's first and to date only regular season Southeastern Conference Championship.
I'm blessed with an incredible wife that I met while on a mission trip with Southside Baptist Church and we have a daughter who is a singer and actress and a son who is all boy who loves playing ball.
