About me

Introduction	I am from the sandhills of SC where nature was my playground. I am from Sunday afternoon picnics and playing on the banks of the river. I am from firefly evenings shelling butterbeans in the front yard and conversing with neighbors who passed by. I am from secrets shared with my best friend, my sister, and from Elvis, the Beatles, the Supremes. I am from a loving brother born when I was 15 and my sister was 13. I am from the aroma of frying rockfish and crappies, from freshly baked cakes on Saturday night that we ate while watching Gunsmoke. I am from a father who modeled patience, and unconditional love, just like his mother, my grandmother. From a creative, energetic mom who instilled in me the virtue of a clean house. I am from a mean, old maid first grade teacher who brought about tears every morning it was time for school. From a 9th grade English teacher who instilled a love for reading, writing and diagramming sentences. I am from past bouts of depression. From a life of faith and survival because I am from a God who sticks with me and makes himself known. I am who I am because I'm a composite of all these people, moments, and experiences.
