What is your background?
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Information Systems from Troy University.

Bagging groceries at the Piggly Wiggly.

Your long, lost great uncle leaves you a million dollars. What is the first thing you would buy and why?
Pay off debt and mortgage so my wife could stay home with the kids.

Biggest challenge in your job?
Keeping up with the ever changing technology advances.

If you could go back to school, what would you study?
I would go back and get an MBA. I just think it’s important to have knowledge about finances.

What is your favorite place to travel and why?
Right now Disney World. There is nothing like seeing my son’s face light up and watching him dancing around with the characters.

You, a deserted island and three must haves?
My family, a fishing pole and a satellite phone with GPS.

Least favorite movie?
Moulin Rouge.

So, why did you watch it?
My wife wanted to watch it and didn’t mention it was a musical. I can’t say I really “watched” it since I pretty much went to sleep once they broke out into song in the first few minutes.
