Jackson is engrained in me. One can seek out a place to live where they are comfortable, but it is special when you live in a place that fulfills you.

Jackson is my home and always has been. I was born here. My parents and all of my grandparents are buried here.

I’m proud to be a Jacksonian and rabid Rams fan.

Jackson is a representation of who I want to be. It is a city that opens its doors to people from other places and embraces them as one of their own. I hope that is how I have lived my life.

I am a product of my family, and I hope to maintain the small-town feel that I experienced all those years ago when I stepped onto the campus of Lambuth University.
