Comments:

In short - I've lived the life of Forest Gump (stopping short of making millions or having anything whatsoever to do with the University of Alabama).

In a nutshell - Graduated, joined Army, went to war, married H.S. sweetheart, joined Coast Guard (because one branch wasn't enough.. I had to make the same mistake twice), saved lives, got medals (whoopity doo), honorable discharged, went back to school at Auburn University, graduated, got divorced, moved to Seattle and became a professional mascot (Mariners - MLB), went into sports marketing & entertainment (Sonics & Storm - NBA/WNBA), got remarried, started an internet LLC, own 2 cats, recently hired to run game ops/broadcast/ & entertainment @ Washington Capitals (NHL)... moving A.S.A.P.

now you're up to date.

School Story:

Auburn University (2001)
BS - Business Administration (Marketing)

Do you plan to attend the reunion?

Yes

Which of your classmates is most likely to attend the reunion? Which of your classmates is most unlikely to attend?

Tanya Patterson - she hasn't stopped chattering about it since she found me on Facebook. Bless her heart.... I think she's more excited then Kim Lovelace. In all seriousness... She still lives in Evans so it make sense she'll be there.

What "words of adult wisdom" do you have to offer your fellow classmates?

Follow your heart... and don't sell out in the short run for anything less then your dream.
Yes - it's corny... but it's true.

Who was your one high school teacher who actually taught you something that you've used as an adult? what was the important something that they taught you?

Mr. Brasco. (refer to 'words of adult wisdom')

My most embarrassing moment in high school was:

Sept 88 thru May 89. (Entire duration of my time at Evans)

The most trouble I got into in high school was:

Anything related to Tommy Crawford.
:-)

I'm sure by his own confession, he'd own up to this. Webster's Dictionary:
Trouble - See Tommy Crawford
Stupid - See Damian Shepard
