Personal Message:
Born and raised in a small town in South Georgia, my friends and I used sports and fitness to keep us entertained. I found a passion in sports and fitness and decided to continue that passion through my schooling, and eventually found a way to make a career out of it. As my responsibilities have grown in my job, I was introduced to the world of Outdoor Pursuits that opened the door to another passion of mine, getting outside. With my hands in both the fitness and outdoor fields, I have been able to expand my skills and knowledge in ways that I did not expect. This has led to a new appreciation for ways to combine both fitness and outdoors at both work, and during my free time.
