For the first seven years of my life, I lived with my parents in a neighborhood called Look Up Forest. My dad built a house in the woods similar to this one.

Greenville, SC

After graduating from Eastside, I went to Furman University, where I majored in History. During my first period at Furman, I commuted from home. When I returned after several years, I lived in an apartment at The Vinings. Greenville is a special place for me. I particularly enjoy spending time downtown.

Clemson, SC

After graduating from Furman, I was accepted into the M.A. History program at Clemson University. I found a nice apartment in a duplex near Clemson Station and Calhoun Corners.
