About Me

I grew up on Lake Sinclair in Milledgeville, Georgia, where the lake was a huge part of my childhood and everyday life. Some of my best memories come from spending time on the water, boating, fishing, swimming, and being surrounded by friends. Living on the Lake fostered a community like a regular neighborhood could never replicate.

One of the best parts of growing up on the lake is my family’s log cabin. The cabin is about 60 years old. It has always been a place where my family comes together. Some of the best memories of my life have come from our annual 4th of July party on the lake. From near death experiences, to swimming across coves the lake has always been my favorite place. I’ve grown up surrounded by the stories, traditions, and memories that come with it. The cabin feels like a connection to my family’s past and also the setting for many of my favorite memories growing up.

Although I’m now entering a new chapter of my life, I’ll always consider Lake Sinclair home. The experiences, friendships, and memories I made there have played a major role in shaping who I am today and the person I hope to become.
