Kacey Hamblen-Smalley

I am orignally from Kankakee, IL, but when I was 4, my parents moved to Ringgold, GA where we lived until I was in the 4th grade where we moved to Galesburg, IL. In Galesburg, I got into swimming and running, even completing my first triathalon. In the summer between the end of eighth grade and freshman year of high school, we moved back to Chickamauga, GA, where I attended the Baylor School in Chattanooga, TN.

While at Baylor I ran cross country, swam, & ran track. When it came to time choosing college, I was offered a Cross Country & Track scholarship to the University of Southern Mississippi. I eventually transferred to Dalton State College in Dalton, GA where I graduated with my Bachelor's of Business Administration-Management.

While at USM, I met my husband. Since being together we have lived in Orlando, FL, Miami, FL, McKinney, TX, and New Orleans, LA. We recently moved back to McKinney, TX, where we are going keep our family. We love Texas and the opportunities that are offered here.
