I thought I'd fit-in better in Georgia with a truck. So I bought a big, black one with windows tinted so dark, they'd be illegal in any other state.
I can't back up at night because I can't see through the darn windows. It's so tall, I cringe when I'm driving in parking garages. And when I part ways with my environmentally conscious friends, I loiter in the parking lot until they speed away in their fuel-friendly hybrids so that they don't think less of me. I keep the radio on country in case someone rides with me at lunchtime. And when I peeled the dealer stickers away, I left the word "Lincoln" because it reminded me of the president. There. Now you know a little more about me.
Who I AM
- I help people launch great things. I'm the founder of STORY and Dream Year. My wife Ainsley and I live in Virginia Beach and have 3 cowboys, Wyatt, Dylan & Cody.
