DREAM ALTERNATE CAREER: Architecture. Over the years, I’ve collaborated closely with architects and contractors on major renovations.
SOMETHING SURPRISING: I own a farm and timberland in Alabama where I spend weekends and holidays enjoying the outdoors with my family.
PASSION PROJECT: I’ve transformed my passions for sporting clay shooting and hunting into a successful fundraising initiative for Pensacola State College.
