As a young teen, he watched the debilitating effects of the disease ravage his grandmother’s mind and ultimately her once-strong body, which left a lasting effect on him. By living next door to his grandparents, he learned early-on how to be compassionate and caring while helping his mother to monitor and take care of her at a time when there was no homecare available in rural Oconee County.
