In August, after graduating, I went into the Navy and served for four years. After discharge in 1982, I worked a short time for United Chemical Co. in Asheville before going to work for Goodyear Carolina Tire Co. in June 1983. After two years and the most difficult period of my life, I came to understand that I had been on the wrong road all along. In April 1985, I gave my life to the Lord, met my soon to be wife Betsy, and shortly thereafter began preparing for the ministry at Fruitland Bapt. Inst. After graduating from Fruitland in 1988, I started at Mars Hill College in Jan.'89. After graduating from MHC in '91 and taking a year off, we moved to Fort Worth, TX where I began classes at Southwestern Baptist Seminary. After graduating in 1996, we moved back to NC (Salisbury) where I began serving as pastor of the Stallings Memorial Baptist Church. In Dec. 2000, after four and a half years, I resigned and went back to work in the business world. For the first year and a half, I worked for a Wireless Internet Co. (Velocenet, Inc.) in Salisbury as a Sales Rep. In June 2002, I began working for Time Warner Cable Co. as a neighborhood sales rep in the Salisbury area. I have been there ever since. Of course, along the way during the course of these events, Betsy and I managed to have two beautiful daughters, Elisabeth (1986) and Jenny (1990). We have been happily married now for 23 years.

One of my best memories is the first day of track practice my Sophomore year. It was my first attempt at track and field events. I decided to give pole vaulting a try. We were warming up and getting a feel for using the pole to throw ourselves into the air when Tony Brown decided we needed to put up the bar. He proceeded to set the bar at 10 feet and vaulted over it. I decided it was my turn (probably more determined after being told I couldn't do it). I grabbed the pole and ran to the end of the approach. I will never forget throwing my feet up and over that bar for the first time without fear or hesitation and clearing the bar. My first and last great moment in pole vaulting the same day.

Our daughter, Kayla, is 21 and a Junior at NC State. She's on the Dance Team...we go to Wolfpack basketball and football games. Our youngest son, Drew, is 18 and will graduate from Enka High this year (30 years after us!). He plans to attend AB-Tech. He's always on a skateboard or snow board... we just pray for him. Andy and I also enjoy our trips to the Outer Banks of NC. We like hiking around in the beautiful mountains of Western NC and hanging out in the diversity of Asheville. We love spending time with our kids and going out to eat with our friends. I have a Shih-tzu named Chloe to help fill the empty nest. Life is good! I look forward to seeing everyone!

I graduated from Appalachian State University in 1982 with a Public Relations/Communications degree. I married Robert Broome in Oct.'82. We lived in Charlotte for 1 year, then Greenville, SC for 5 years, and then moved back to the Charlotte area (Harrisburg) where we have been since. I have worked with several non-profit organizations and am now a presenter for King's College in Charlotte, NC. I have 2 beautiful daughters...Laura(21) who is in pharmacy school at the University of South Carolina (Go Gamecocks!!!) and Allison (18) who is a freshman at East Carolina University majoring in nursing(like the Pirate mascot better!) She likes the blood and guts while Laura wants to push drugs for a living...I think Laura will make more $$$$! Mom's the only cheerleader in the family....both girls played volleyball and basketball for Central Cabarrus High School in Concord, NC and my husband is a football referee with the Southern Conference. Since we are empty-nesters this fall, I am having redrawals from not rushing around to ballgames after all these years! Robert was with Duke Energy for many years as an IT manager and is now with Accenture. We have 2 old lady golden retrievers and 2 cats (1 that adopted us). I still think I'm 18 until I look at my pictures and I think I'm my mom and Allison is me! P.S. Right before Allison went to school this fall, I took her and a couple of her friends to Graveyard Fields...brought back so many memories of high school. I haven't been there in about 25 years or so and was disappointed that it had been discovered and modernized...the walking trail and bridges! Remember when we would go the short hike straight down the mountain??????!!!
