MY JOURNEY.

I'm a former collegiate athlete, serial entrepreneur, author, motivational speaker, and life/business coach.

 

Starting my entrepreneurial journey from the trunk of my car at the age of 23, to being the founder and president of Fanatics 101, I have set the tone for what hard work, focus and determination can get you. Today I have a store located in Asheville, NC as well as in Johnson City, TN.

 

I have a degree in liberal arts from Ventura College as well as a degree in sports management from Tusculum University, which gave me my educational foundation. I am an active member of the FCA (fellowship of Christian athletes), sit on the Johnson City Chamber of Commerce, former board member of CASA, and I enjoy volunteering within my community. I am a man of faith with a desire to always be of service.

 

While on this journey to success you must find balance between work and play. I enjoy traveling and attending sporting events with my daughters.

THE APPALACHIAN HIGHLANDS: DEFINED BY ITS PEOPLE

​

The events of 2024 tested the strength and resilience of the Appalachian Highlands like never before. When Hurricane Helene unleashed unprecedented devastation—flooding homes, destroying businesses, and claiming lives—the true character of this region shined through. Neighbors became lifelines, communities came together, and hope was rebuilt, piece by piece.

 

In Mountain Movers: Volume Two, you’ll find stories that reflect this extraordinary spirit. From lifelong residents to newcomers seeking a fresh start, these individuals are leaders, innovators, and givers who excel in their fields while lifting up others.

 

This volume highlights business owners who built thriving empires, teachers and mentors who inspire, and veterans who’ve served with honor. Each story is a testament to the strength, creativity, and generosity of the people who call these mountains home.

 

The Appalachian Highlands are defined not just by the breathtaking beauty of its landscape but by the perseverance and compassion of its people. Together, they are stronger than any challenge—and through their stories, they move mountains.
