I was born in Honaker, VA, coal country, and lived in Blacksburg for a while. I've lived in Giles for about 13 years.

My family is spread out and includes the Israels, Shepherds, Wells, Davis's, and Salsburys.

My Dad taught me how to work on trucks and other vehicles and also do small engine repairs. I enjoy working with my hands. I do it for pleasure and work.

I'm going to NRCC to study automotive repair. I'll eventually head down to Univerity Technical Institute in North Carolina to study Deisel Technology.
