War for Talent

On Valentine's Day 2000, my new bride dropped me off at the United States Army Ranger School.  I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous as we drove past the entrance sign that said "NOT FOR THE WEAK OR FAINTHEARTED." Sixty-two days later I was a proud graduate of...

Intentional

Last night was a very special night.  Louci and I attended the annual Father-Daughter Purity Ball in Paulding County.  It was a wonderful time of games, dancing, dinner and commitment.  A few weeks ago I told Louci that I wanted to give her a promise ring this year at...

Risk Taking

"Courage is not the lack of fear. It is acting in spite of it."  ~ Mark Twain This past week I flew out to Little Rock, AR for the grand opening of Otter Creek Chick-fil-A.  I am the operator coach for one of CFA's newest operators.  On the flight out, I hit it off...

A few weeks ago I was driving through the pasture and I noticed one of my cows off by herself.  If she was nine months pregnant, I would assume she was about to have her calf.  However, I knew she wasn't pregnant so I began to wonder why she was alone.  I started...

As a business owner with over 80 team members, I find myself wearing many hats.   Three of the hats I wear are that of a mentor, counselor, and coach.  I consider it a great privilege to have influence in the lives of others and help them navigate life's journey....

Truth or Lie

A few days ago I bought the Karate Kid trilogy on Amazon and was so excited when it arrived Friday afternoon.  That night, our family had a movie marathon and stayed up past midnight watching  all three.  The last time I watched Karate Kid, I too was a kid and I don't...

Farm Team

This summer I received visits from two former team members, Trey Grindley, a Cadet at the United States Military Academy and Daniel LeMay, a Midshipman at the United States Naval Academy.  I am proud to have been a part of the leadership journey of both of these young...

Chasing Rabbits

The past two days I have literally been chasing a rabbit.  Saturday morning I noticed a rabbit in the yard and I soon discovered it was Ellesie's favorite, Princess.  Doing whatever it took to catch this rabbit was the only option, but this is not what I woke up...
