Born in 1967 in Columbia, SC, I've lived most of my life in Florence, SC. I graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Business Administration, but went back to school to study Nuclear Medicine Technology. After a severe back injury in January 2008, I realized career choices were limited and after quite a journey, wound up here! I've always loved both college and pro football, so becoming a sports writer was a natural extension of that passion.
