Well, here is the short version. Born in Alabama on a farm to a large family. Eldest son, middle child, mom taught me to play football while my dad was in graduate school. Thus I kick with the wrong foot.
Played football 15 straight seasons, including three years at Auburn.

I was a walk-on 5'-10" and 210 pounds and, though smallish for an offensive lineman, I fared pretty well. I Captained a JV team that beat an Alabama JV team on Legion Field in Birmingham, with Bear Bryant barking up a storm, hounds tooth cap and London Fog flappin’ in the wind and rain, on their sideline for the second half. Having driven over from Tuscaloosa at half time when he got the news they were losing to us. That was the height of my college career.
