The Lord God said, It is not good for man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.

About Me

I ain't as good as I once was, but my milkshake brings all the girls to the yard. I teach and coach at Wrens Middle, home of the Fightin' Colts. I once played college football and loved it but I love coaching just as much. So I live with my parents and sleep on a bunk bed, which is completely o.k. because my folks are the funniest people I know. I recently became an uncle to a little girl that poops goat pellets. Mallory Shadrick is amazing and the most beautiful girl I know and I love spending time with her. In fact, I'll be spending the rest of my life with her and I couldn't imagine doing so with anyone else. I dig walking aroung barefoot, eating Blue Bell ice cream, talking with my Papa, taking the roof off my bronco and riding out, fishin in the dark, jumping on trampolines, chillin in my new hammock, pickin and grinnin, watching the Andy Griffith show, jumping out of planes, eatin pancakes til I pass out, sittin on the beach, cuttin grass, jumping off of rope swings (which can be dangerous for the boys if you aren't careful), Mellow Mushroom calzones, roller coasters, breakin wind, and hanging out with my family and friends.

My Interests

Selling out for Christ, buffets, sweet tea (when I feel wild), hittin the weights and running, laughing til I can't breathe, West Georgia football, huntin and fishin, mud wrastlin, warm weather, farming, hammocks, the beach, slip-n-slides, foreign missions, teaching and coaching, leanin and rockin wid it, Blue Bell ice cream, chillin in the bed of truck and checkin out the stars on a clear night, hanging with my brother and sister, racing tractors and raking hay, droppin the kids off at the pool first thing in the morning, cereal, singing and dancing, rides dirt roads with my cousin while he gets drunk, listening to my roommate cuss me out, sarcasm, gettin two scoops at the Marathon, stringin up barbed wire fences, walking with God, talking with people with different life styles, discerning God's will for my life, thinking, listening to people play the banjo and trying to play myself, being outside bout 15 minutes before the sun goes down, road trips, dirty uno, playing Guestures with dyslexic people, being barefoot, yard work, day dreaming, finishing the drill, Monopoly, Spades, Free Cell, giving good games on a regular basis, laughing at drunk people, sunsets, jumping out of air planes, and making oreo cheesecake milkshakes. Other stuff: push ups, long snapping, playing peek-a-boo on the bunkbed, sittin in the front yard and watching the cars go by.
