I'm 42 years old. I've been married to the lovely Lana Peavey for 15 years, and I have the best son in the world, Griffin Everett. We have an 8-pound Shih Tzu named Minnie. I have a friend, Justin, who has a French Bull Dog. Sometimes, we think of breeding the bulldog and the Shih Tzu into a --------.

If you laughed at that, then there are high odds that we will be friends. If you did not then to be honest we'll probably still be friends.

I was born in Stoneham, Massachusetts, but have spent most of my life in Georgia, with a small stint in Northern California. I have a huge head. And I mean that literally, not from an ego perspective (although if you meet me and think otherwise, I'm very open to feedback). Griffin, unfortunately, inherited this trait from me. His labor took days because his 99th-percentile head was stuck in Lana's pelvic bone.

Side note: If you are single and in the dating world, outside of qualities like "attractive, kind, must-love-Jesus," etc., make sure you write the quality "don't marry anyone with a 99th-percentile head."

ANYWAY.

Professionally, I spent ten years in Enterprise B2B Tech Sales for companies like IBM, Apple, and HPE, where I sold to Fortune 500 companies. In 2017, I started a product marketing and sales enablement firm called Story Sells, where I help B2B tech companies find the right story, sales, and marketing strategy for the right audience. 

I'm also building these businesses: 

• Unplug Cabins - Mirror cabins on 7 acres of land that border Cloudland Canyon State Park, 30 minutes outside Chattanooga, TN.
• HVAC Business School - Most HVAC companies know how to fix HVAC issues but don't always know how to run a business. This media company focuses on helping HVAC companies become better business owners in less than 10 minutes per day.
• HVAC Engine - ServiceTitan as a service for HVAC companies. 

As you can see, I spend a lot of time building things. I do this because I believe I'm a valuable man with talents that deserve to be multiplied. I think it's my mandate and yours.

Outside work, you can usually find me meal prepping, hanging out with humans that I consider eagles, lifting weights, hooping 🏀, going to church, spending time with my family, and masterminding how to live a simple life fully funded by assets. 

When I was 19, I released a rap album. And I've already written a children's book, I just need to work on it.

I might have a problem.

That is all. Good luck. And good night.
