I was born and raised in Fayetteville, NC. There I grew up on a small farm and learned the simple way of life. Upon completion of high school I moved to Wilmington, NC to attend UNCW. After a year of listening to the gulls I heard a distant howl of a lurking wolf. Off to Raleigh I went transferring into NCSU in 1993. A small town country boy living the highlife in the thriving metropolis of Raleigh decided to return to Wilmington after eleven years to plant his feet in the sand and feel the salt air on his face. Ah, there is no other place like Wilmington. Open for business; come see why Wilmington is a great place to live! It is a good life.
