About Myself

For the first post, I will offer a bit of insight on myself. Part of this will be a repeat of the "About Me" section to the right, but I will expand a bit more in this post. This Fall 2008 semester marks my second year here at MTSU, however, my senior year overall for my college career. I spent two year at the University of Knoxville before making the move out here to "The Boro." Originally, I had planned to enter the medical field while at UTK, but soon realized that I had little or no desire to continue on that planned path. One of my life-long friends was hired on at the police department in my hometown, and after hanging out with him and riding with him on patrol, I soon realized what I wanted to do in life. I quickly got away from UTK and came to MTSU to major in Criminal Justice Administration, with a minor in Computer Information Systems. This semester I plan on taking the LSAT and applying to several law schools here in TN.

Besides my "obsession" with law enforcement and the criminal justice system, I share the same enthusiasm for geotechnical work. In summer 2007, winter break '07/'08 and summer 2008, I was employed with Rembco Geotechnical Contractors (http://www.rembco.com/) out of Knoxville, TN. We specialize in drilling foundation support systems for large buildings such as hospitals, parking garages and other large structures where massive amounts of weight must be supported. Additionally, we specialize in compaction grouting, chemical grouting, sinkhole remediation and soil nail/tieback walls.

In my spare time, I can usually be found laying around the apartment doing absolutely nothing. However, during the summer, I can be found on the lake wakeboarding in the evenings. One of my life long friends brother-in-law has a 2002 Tige V Drive that we ride behind. Liquid Force boards all the way! There is nothing I love much more than being out on the links during a hot summer day. I play with a Titleist 983E driver, Titleist 980F fairway wood, Titleist DCI Oversize irons, Titleist Vokey wedges and a Scotty Cameron TeI3 Newport 2 putter. These clubs are used to navigate a Titleist ProV1x around the course. I can be found some nights throwing chips around trying to win a Texas Hold'em game.
