Born and raised in Columbia. Father started taking me to games in '79. Life long fan. Wanted to go to Clemson but didn't have the money. Started working construction after high school. Been doing it ever since. Huge Clemson football and baseball fan. Watch hoops, but honestly, don't get that involved. As far as pro goes, I'm down with the Braves and follow ex-tigers in NFL(don't have one team).
