What life lessons did you learn while at UGA? How to create relationships with people from different backgrounds and enjoy living in the phase of life that you are in. I had to learn to create balance, while still finding time to enjoy everything college has to offer.
What professor did you most admire? I am going to cheat and say a coach instead of professor. Will Glenn was the assistant men’s tennis coach while I was on the team at UGA. He really understood the position that I was in on the team from personal experience. He taught me to always stay positive and find the role where I could contribute the most to making the team successful. He is still someone I look up to today.
What do you consider your greatest achievement? Marrying my wife, Selby, on Herty Field in North Campus and starting a business with her in the same year.
Which historical figure do you most identify with? Dan Magill, the greatest Bulldawg of them all. Only person I have known (other than the great Jeff Dantzler!) to hate Georgia Tech as much as I do. He would not even refer to them by name but would instead simply call them “the Enemy”!
Who are your heroes in real life? My parents are my real heroes, as they made me who I am today. They gave me a very well-rounded background. They also took me to the first UGA football game that I was alive for at four months old and “baptized” me by taking me to touch the hedges. I look forward to continuing the tradition with my son, who is on the way and will be here in time to see the Dawgs win another Natty!
Quote to live by: “Everything in moderation, including moderation.” – Oscar Wilde
What is your idea of perfect happiness? First cold beer after setting the tailgate up before a big Dawgs game. If not football season, then a sunset boat ride at the lake.
What is your most marked characteristic? Fiercely loyal
What do you most value in your friends? Friends who continue to show up for you.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!
Who are your favorite writers? Thomas Carlyle. I learned the “Plain Rule” from his greatest work, Sartor Resartus. “Let each considerate person have his way, and see what it will lead to. For not this man and that man, but all men make up mankind, and their united tasks the task of mankind.”
