What is
your favorite memory with Georgia Spa Company?
When I scared Emily, the marketing assistant, with the lizard I found in a pre-owned tub as I was fixing it.
What
was your very first job?
I pumped gas for people back when it was 42
cents a gallon.
What is
your favorite sport and sports team?
Football, and I am a New Orleans Saints fan
all the way! In 1969, I was 9 years old and I saw a player named Tom Dempsey. He was born with a handicap on his right foot. Despite being born with no toes
on his foot he still kicked a 63-yard field goal giving the Saints a 19 to 17 victory. I just remember thinking how cool that was and that you shouldn't let
anything hold you back.
What's
your favorite hot tub and why?
I would have to go with the TX hot tub by
Hot Spring Spas. I like this hot tub because I find it to be low maintenance.
Given my job, low maintenance is definitely a highlight.
If you
had to eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Cube steak with gravy and a large glass of
unsweet tea.
How do
you prefer to spend your time off?
I enjoy working in my garden on my days off.
What
are two things left on your bucket list?
I'd like to see my grandkids graduate from
high school and visit Maine because it has really good fishing holes.
What is
your hidden talent?
I can't sing, I can't dance. I guess I don't
have a hidden talent.
What is
the best advice you've ever gotten?
When I asked my dad how to be successful he
told me, ''Get up and go to work.''
What is something you would tell your
13-year-old self?
Focus on your education.
What is
your favorite song?
Workin' On by Colt Ford.
If you
won the lottery, what is the first thing you would do?
Give it all away to non-profits and mission
organizations because that is where I think the money would do the most good.
If you
could choose anyone to be your mentor, who would it be?
I would pick my dad, plain and simple.
