well I think the the biggest um

involvement I’ve had is in raising my

four children and now my nine

grandchildren I have coached all of my

children in various Sports I’ve been a

scout leader um both of my sons are

Eagle Scouts Elder in the church on the

bar side I’ve served on multiple

committees I’m past president of the

South Carolina Trial Lawyers Association

currently serve on the Board of

Governors of the American assoc

assciation of justice so I’ve been very

involved in the community currently with

two groups I’m creating Mentor programs

through the South Carolina bar solo and

small firm section and also through

injury board which is a National

Organization mentoring has become my

passion and it may be because I’ve been

a parent I’ve started a law firm

multiple several law firms just giving

back and bringing along the Next

Generation so that’s my involvement in

the

community

this building is a perfect example of it

it’s taken me several years to build my

home office and so while this may be

mahogany

downstairs upstairs I have built in this

my grandchildren’s playroom so I’ve been

a woodworker I’ve built multiple Habitat

for Humanity houses I’ve always just

done things with my hand I have a farm

nothing’s better than getting on a farm

getting on a tractor at the farm to

clear your head so I’ve just been

involved with my family and um doing

things that may last longer than just me

whether it’s mentoring coaching Scout

leading it’s pretty cool to still have

people come up to me and call me coach

um and I haven’t coached them in 30

years but just to know that next

Generation still considers me their

coach is pretty cool
