I am divorced and the father of 3 children. I grew up in a farm community in northern South Carolina, and when I was 15, my family moved to Lexington, SC. I attended Lexington High School, taking classes that concentrated on Electrical and Electronic Engineering and math. I also played football from the third grade until I graduated high school.

I learned everything there is to know about wireless communications. I graduated AIT at the top of my class and was stationed with the 3rd Signal Brigade at Fort Hood, Texas.
