Personal Profile

I have been married since 1997 to my lovely wife, Adair, who is an amazing realtor and Mom. We have one adult son recently married. I am a native of Columbia, SC where I attended the University of South Carolina for undergraduate and graduate school (Go Gamecocks!) I moved to Greenville, SC in 1996 and have lived in the Upstate ever since.

I enjoy all forms of exercise and love being in the outdoors. Our extended family loves to travel and we are always looking forward to our next adventure together. We have visited 17 National Parks with plans to get to many more. When I am not outside I love to read and learn new skills.

Two of the best pieces of advice I have ever received are (1) "pay yourself first" and (2) "no one cares about your career as much as you do". Both of these have served me well over the years.
