Happy Independence Day!

As you celebrate with family and friends today, please take a moment to remember the men and women of our armed forces, our veterans, first responders, and all who have sacrificed to protect the freedoms we cherish.

Happy 250th Birthday, America!

We had a great time Friday morning with the team from WSPA as they visited Mauldin for last week’s “Zip Trip.” Thanks to @oliviadonnellly for having me on “Trivia with Olivia.”

GE Vernova Park shows what can happen when public and private sectors come together around a vision. This stadium gives soccer a home, creates a new destination for residents and visitors, and strengthens Mauldin’s position as a hub for sports, entertainment, and econ development

Memorial Day is more than the "unofficial start of summer." It's a day of remembrance for the brave Americans who gave their lives in defense of our nation and our freedoms.

Today, we honor those who never came home.

May we always remember them with gratitude and respect.

I ate at the one in Mauldin on Friday. If you’re ever passing through, send me a DM. I’m buying.

For what it’s worth, I love Skins hot dogs.

Chapel approached me in January about doing this. I really appreciate him taking the time. This is something I’ll show my kids.

Hope you all read and enjoy.

Not saying I’ve ever wanted to do this, not I’m not not saying it, either.

Today we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his commitment to justice, service, and bringing people together. His words and actions remind us that progress comes from listening, leading with humility, and working toward a future that lifts everyone.
