Meet DJ!

Have you seen this guy walking around Paris Mountain State Park with a rucksack? (That’s a weighted backpack - but you probably already knew that.)

He’s pretty obsessed with that particular form of exercise. “It is, by far, the best combination of physical exercise, time in nature, stress relief, and adventure that I have ever found.” It’s something he does daily.

Owner of @whiteoakdigitalmarketing , DJ and his wife Rachel have two daughters, a sheepadoodle and five backyard chickens.

DJ and Rachel are both @clemsonuniversity grads and the first place he visited in TR was @sunriftadventures and then @redeemertr where the family still attends today.

As a kid, DJ dreamed of growing up to be archaeologist - a la Indiana Jones, who was his childhood hero. Ah, who are we kidding? DJ would still love to be archaeologist and find lost treasures all over the world. One of those lands he’d like to explore is New Zealand - the closest he can get to Middle Earth.

But while he’s still here in TR, he’s a big fan of home. “Everything you need is right here. I can make one trip to downtown TR and have a meeting over coffee for work, grab lunch, get a haircut, mail a package at the Post Office, get fresh air and exercise on the SRT or Trailblazer Park, grab lunch of crepes, bbq, pizza or tacos, and even get my taxes done because my accountant has an office in downtown TR also. Oh, and there is almost always easy parking and no parking garages!”

(Sounds like I should hire DJ to write content for me.)

DJ loves coffee - preferably Belly Warmer from @methodicalcoffee in a French Press. It’s no surprise The Lord of the Rings is his favorite book and the movie It’s a Wonderful Life is in his line up of favorites, so is the band Thousand Foot Crutch. (I guess I’ll need to look them up.)

Did you know - DJ once raced a solar car from Texas to Indiana, he lived n Malawi for four months, he jumped off Victoria Falls in Zambia, he’s a super listener who consumes audio books at 1.5x speed and he was born on the actual Gettysburg Battlefield??

DJ - where is your cape??

Seriously - you actually are a superhero and we’re so glad you are TR!
