2020 Dancing Stars of Columbus

 I’m thrilled to be a part of this year’s Dancing with the Stars cast! My amazing wife of 23 years, Amanda, and I recently moved here from Birmingham. We have two wonderful sons: Kyler, who recently graduated from Ole Miss, and Noah who’s a junior at Ole Miss.

 I work at Synovus where I serve as executive vice president of technology, operations, and security. I strive to bring innovation and aid in delivering an unparalleled customer experience. I love what I do and the amazing team I have the privilege to lead.

 I grew up in Memphis [Yes, I love BBQ and Elvis…who doesn’t?]. When I was younger, I spent many years skateboarding and snowboarding. But unfortunately, this isn’t a skateboarding competition…outside of my family, my hobby and passion has always been technology, computers, and programming.

 To say I’m nervous about this competition is an understatement. I’ve only danced once, I think, and if I’m not mistaken, it was slow dancing at a middle school dance. But don’t worry, I’ve seen Footloose, Breakin’, Bring It On, and Dirty Dancing, so hopefully that helps.

I truly enjoy being involved in the community and giving back. It’s absolutely worth the most embarrassing day of my life to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association.
