Gibbs Leaphart

As bass guitarist for Five Way Friday, I traveled the Southeast and beyond during the late 1990's and early 2000 after graduating from Wofford College. During these years, I embraced life as a starving artist and worked at a multitude of part-time jobs: janitor, telemarketer, interior landscaper, bartender, mystery shopper—you name it; I did it. A 1990's verson of El Oso Blanco so to speak.

These days, instead of living the life of a starving artist, I enjoy solving the multitude of problems employers and insurance carriers are presented with on a daily basis in their workers' compensation claims.

When I'm not at work, you can find me spending time with my wife Tara and daughter Austin, as well as my two dogs Ace and Jack or as I like to call them "the moron twins."

I love listening to music (anything from country to reggae); cheering on the Atlanta Braves and Georgia Bulldogs; and working in the yard. You can often find me on the weekend hovering over a smoker with a cool one trying to perfect my BBQ recipe.
