Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If my friend was visiting Greenville for the fist time I’d take them up and down White Horse Rd. I’d take them to some of my favorite taquerias. I’d take them to OJs. I’d take them to Mike & Jeffs. We’d visit N. Main Soda Shop. They’d get a taste of Greenville in places that are locally owned, and they’d get a taste (literally) of some of Old Greenivlle. After that, we’d definitely peruse downtown. Some of my favorite spots are M. Judson, Unlocked Coffee, Village Grind, and maybe catch a show at the Peace Center.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I’d like to give some credit to one of my high school counselors, Ms. Barbara Seaborn. Ms. Seaborn pushed me to go back to school after the military and complete my degree. I followed her nudge and completed both of my degrees, and my career has been better than I could have dreamed of.
