Mark Stripling

We have 3 children, very close together. Taylor is 13 (oh my God, I have a teenager), Noah is 11 and loves sports and can play most anything, McKenzie is the youngest at 9 and is the smallest and has the most attitude. I am married to Kimberly (Kim West) from Harlem High School. We have been together for 22 years and married for 16 of those years. She is definitely my soul mate and Love of my Life! We are best of friends and husband/wife! I am a District Sales Leader for Frito-Lay. We live in Columbia, S.C. IT is actually a very good place to live, lots of things to do and fun. I am a licensed soccer coach. I have coached my son's soccer team for years and now he has moved on to classic ball. I still coach a U-10 and U-12 team and will be coaching a developmental squad this year (travel squad). I've had the best team you could ask for, for the past three seasons. Good kids, good listeners, good learners and winners! Losing about half the team now due to age limits.

Moved to Harlem High in October of 1987. Played basketball and baseball. Sang in the choir. Travis Hatcher and I were best of friends.
