I was born in Forest City, NC in 1979. I grew up in Rutherford County and have lived here my entire life. I am a middle child. I have an older and younger sister. I love a wide array of things. I really enjoy playing and watching sports. I'm highly competitive and strive to do the best at everything I attempt. I graduated from Chase High in 1997 and UNC-Asheville with a business degree in 2001. After graduating from college I became a manager at Hibbett Sports for the next 8 1/2 years. After losing my job in April of 2010, I began reevaluating my life. This gave me the opportunity to write my 1st book in memory of my younger sister.
