Personal: Education and athletics have been the two constants throughout my life. I grew up with parents as teachers, and I followed my siblings to every court and field. I ended up playing football at Wofford College where I was a two-time conference champion and a three-time All-American. I am now a part of the Wofford Hall of Fame and the Socon Hall of Fame. In my free time, I love exploring the outdoors with my wife, Reagan, and our children, Lily and Avery.
