I started my college journey at Chattanooga State Technical Community College in 1988. I flunked out. In 1990, I got a second chance at Hiwasseee College, where I graduated with an Associate in Arts Degree. From there, I went to Lincoln Memorial University for one semester. I discovered I wasn’t happy there and transferred to Middle Tennessee State University (a school I never thought I would find myself at) where I graduated in 1994 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mass Communications and minors in Sociology and Political Science.

Describe A Man, Well Two Men
I am going to say two men. My father and grandfather were great people who influenced me to be who I am. Without them, I can say I wouldn’t be the geek/nerd that I am. They taught me to be a sensitive, caring, and loving man in my own way. I can say I will miss them this holiday season as they are no longer with me. They are still with me in my heart and soul.
What I Hope People Say
My hope is that people say kind things about me if I have earned it. I would hope people would say that I am a good person although I am very human and I do make mistakes.
Three Wishes Writing Prompt
This is a good question and I would hope that what I would ask for wouldn’t impact anyone negatively. My first wish is enough money for me and my family to live where life would be comfortable. I don’t need to be filthy rich. The second wish would be to help make life easier for those who are in need. The final wish would be for organizations I care about to have what they need to carry out their missions. As long as I can take care of myself and mine then I will hope to be sure others are taken care of.
Lazy Days
When I take a day off I cannot just lay about all day. I need to do some things so that I can say I got some stuff accomplished around the house. I don’t bring work home with me ever. We have a dog and he needs to go out to do his business so being lazy isn’t an option. I guess I just need to learn to relax other than that.
Brand Power Isn’t All That Important
I am not much of a brand snob. I tend to be okay with store brands, generic items, and that sort of thing. Price is a consideration and saving money is important. Quality can be found in different forms. Mobile phones are an exception since I have had Google Pixels for years. It’s cool to be a frugal shopper brand name or not.
