      This section of my web site is to tell you a little bit about myself. I was born in Spartanburg, South Carolina on November 16, 1978. I grew up in the rural town of Blacksburg, which is located just north of Spartanburg, for those of you who aren't familiar with the upstate of South Carolina. Blacksburg is a very small town with a real "down home" atmosphere. It seems as if everyone knows everyone else in the town. In short, Blacksburg was a great place to grow up.
      My parents separated when I was very young, so my mom was forced to raise me and my little brother, Brat, I mean Brad, by herself. I have to give her all the credit in the world because my little brother and I were destroyers growing up. By that I mean, if something could be destroyed or torn up, then my brother and I were sure to find a way to do just that. We even tore up some things that were supposedly indestructible. It took a lot of patience on her part just not to kill us for all of the things that we tore up. I am glad that she didn't blow her top and kill us though, because it would be hard for me to become a lawyer if mom had lost her cool and pummeled me to death for breaking things.
      I have a little sister, Brandi, who lives with my dad. She is nine years old and she is so adorable. She is so sweet to everyone she meets and she is smarter than I ever thought about being at that age. I am going to have such a hard time when she gets to the age when she starts becoming interested in boys. I am going to have to fight off all of the guys, but that job will mostly fall to my dad.
      Now that I have told you a little bit about my family and the town where I grew up, I want to talk about myself. I know that sounds selfish, but this is my page, so what I want to talk about is what gets talked about and that is the bottom line because I said so. Okay, enough with the Stone Cold Steve Austin impression and on with some information about me, which I am sure you are dying to hear. Well, let me just start by saying that I am 5'5" tall and I weigh about 144 pounds. I enjoy great physical fitness because I don't drink or smoke and I train in both American Karate and Tae Kwon Do. I will talk more about them in the Karate/Tae Kwon Do section of this site. I also played football in high school. I am not playing it in college because I am small compared to some of the big dudes that play football in college. I have often debated on whether to try out or not, but I have decided that in order to become a billionaire, I should concentrate on my education and my other strengths.
      Though my physical abilities are impressive, my most impressive feature is my intelligence. I am relentless in my pursuit of knowledge and excellence. My astronomically high GPA here at the University of South Carolina illustrates this relentlessness very well. I am sure that this success will continue after I graduate and move on to law school and in my career afterwards.
      Well, I hope you have enjoyed reading about me as much as I enjoyed writing about myself. I also hope that you will continue to come back here to check to see if I have updated this page as well as the other pages on my web site. I will try to keep it as up to date as possible.
      I will talk more about the things that I am interested in on the other pages of my web site. So, If you want to know more about the things that I enjoy, please keep on going to the next page. :)
