The Story of Me


I am from a the base of the Sauratown mountains, the only chain in the U.S. to start and end in the same county, and from trees so beautiful in fall that you forget everything and just stare.
I am from the small white house in the back of a small development.
I am from the place of beautiful trees and good weather year round.
I am from competition and from the idea that hard work will always pay off.
I am from Fansler and from Amen, from the concept of always finishing and never accepting losing and from always putting God and family ahead of everything.
I am from the food lovers and sports fanatics.
From a family that will always be there for me and from friends whom I can trust my life with.
I am from belief in God and faith that His plan will always shine through no matter what the storm.
I'm from Foothills of the mountains and from 4 generations of North Carolinians, and from Mac and Cheese and big juicy steaks.
From a family where sports have traveled up the lineage for years, and from many afternoons and nights of working on Baseball with my dad.
I am from the South, from warmer weather, from people with warm hearts and from a family that spent their time on me!
