Two dreams come true. Not only have I been given the opportunity to pursue a dream job with App State Athletics, but Kaitlyn and I are excited to announce we are going to be taking our baby BOY along with us to Boone!
Incredibly proud of the efforts of our
@appstatesports
Game Ops team this weekend. 7 contests at home in 3 days including a sold out Football game. We can chalk this one up as a successful weekend. Thanks to our team for giving your all for our Student Athletes and supporters!
Nolan Buck Berry decided he had to watch his first Super Bowl with his parents and he made it just in time! Kaitlyn is a rockstar and we are so blessed!
Today marks my last day at the University of West Georgia, the campus I have called “home” for the last 10 years. I owe so much to UWG. Two degrees, a start to my career, meeting my greatest mentor
@TrentRoss_
and most importantly meeting my wife, Kaitlyn. Enjoy the throwback.
This Georgia boy isn’t used to snow at all, let alone flurries in October! Ready for some chilly football tomorrow night in the High Country! See you there! ⚫️🟡⚫️🟡
The atmosphere in Varsity Gym last night was unlike any I have felt before. Fired up to see what
@AppWrestling

In the first 5 weeks of his life I have watched a Super Bowl with my son, a 16 seed beat a 1 seed in March Madness, and most important in our house, a Team USA run to the WBC finals. Just thankful.
Your West Georgia Wolves Men’s Basketball team is doing it again. Back to back seasons with incredible runs and plenty of opportunities left this season to add to the W column.
