89 Grad from Troy State University in Business. Finished up ball there, and landed a job in Texas working for a Pipeline Company as a welders helper, a real grunt job to say the least but I always loved hands-on and being outside. I was taught young how to weld, lay-brick, and read blue-prints before College. The diploma and a recommendation is what opened the door for me. Not doing too bad for a Bricklayers / Coal-Miners Son....and C Student.
