Thanksgiving 2024, Growing up 1 of 7, I learned to love these people every day. I love this photo from thanksgiving; it is always a treat when we all get to be together.Most of my time is spent on the field or in the classroom. I started playing when I was 3 years-old, and my love for this game remains the same as it was when I was a little kid. When I am not playing, I love watching my favorite team the Atlanta Braves. A Sky Zone throwback. My best friends in life just happen to be blood related. These are my cousins, Billy and Cameron. As we have grown older, we have grown closer. Every time we reunite, it is like we are these three little boys again. This is Sequoyah National Golf club in Cherokee, NC. I love to golf and have gotten slightly better at it over the years. I grew up playing this course with my dad, and it is easily my favorite course I have ever played. December 2022, we took a family trip Disney World over Christmas to visit my sister who works in the castle. The boys in the family have always bonded over our love for Star Wars, and this picture captures one of the most surreal experiences of my life. When we finally convinced my parents to get a dog, she couldn’t resist getting her a sister. These are my dogs (Princess) Leia and Maggie (Magnolia). They are the sweetest little girls, and they are most definitely spoiled. Summer 2024, My buddies and I smoked a hog during our senior summer. Not only was this one of my favorite things we did as a friend group, but it is symbolic of my love for cooking and grilling. My dad grew up cooking in barbecue competitions every weekend which I have many fond memories of. This pig was an opportunity for us to share our love for each other through delicious cuisine. I caught this bass in Cornelia, GA last spring. My Grandpa introduced me to fishing when I was just 5 years-old, and I have continued ever since. I still visit and fish his pond at least twice a year. This is a photo from a street musician in Milledgeville, GA. I come from a musical family and have always been passionate about music. I also love to talk to people and share common interests. I told this man I could play, and he asked me to prove it. Summer 2025, Some of my closest hometown buddies decided to create an annual golf tournament. We plan to continue to make connections and grow our tournament into something more than just a good time. In the future we look to network for our careers while maintaining a common core group. My first time at Wrigley Field. This 1-day trip is one of my favorite memories with my father. This was sometime during covid, and we had the entire row behind the braves dugout to ourselves. My dad surprised me and let me skip school to go watch my favorite baseball team play at my favorite ballpark.
