The Renaissance Man

For over a decade, I have been privileged to have my passion of storytelling and connecting shared experiences be a profession that has spanned various industries, from broadcast journalism to corporate communications and most recently, the aerospace industry. This love that continues growing with me is one that was planted decades before.

I grew up in South Georgia. Here, yes and no ma’ams/sirs weren’t just pleasantries - they were requirements - as were good grades, responsibility and work ethic. Growing up, my family worked full time jobs during the week and picked seasonal fruits and vegetables on the weekends to make ends meet. Writing became my escape when I was forced along on weekend trips to a field and, eventually, as I found myself becoming a teenager with an unorthodox path. By high school, I was a full fledge musician, nationally ranked track and field athlete and storyteller. My heart and hands were full by the variety of experiences I was afforded. I wanted to know and do everything!

As I finished high school and went on to college, I knew two things: 1) I had to be a runner and 2) I had to tell stories. I managed to do both as a student-athlete and, shortly after graduation, I landed my first real job at WTOC-TV; the station I had grown up watching every day. As a student-athlete, you wear many hats. As a captain of a team and president of student-athletes, well, those hats start taking on additional shapes and colors. Organization, adaptability

These varied experiences gifted me a unique perspective to my work but also an ambition to learn as much about as much as I can. Some may call me a jack of all trades. And to that I say, yes. Yes, I am a generalist in the best sense of the word; if it can be done, I am TTG - trained to go.
