Donald's Story
Hey, Everybody!
Two days after graduation I was in basic training at Parris Island, SC for the Marines. I was stationed afterward at Camp Lejeune, NC. After serving in Desert Storm, I got out and started driving long distance for a trucking company. I'm still driving, but only for about another year or so. I have been called to the ministry and I am currently going to school to get my pastoral credentials. Surprised? Me, too! Hopefully, I'll be finished by the end of this year.
Family.
I have been married to Beth for 16 years. We now live in Plant City, but we're looking to move back toward Polk County. I have 2 daughters. Arika is 10 and Andrea is 9. We are very active in our church where Beth sings and I play the bass guitar.
Friends.
I haven't kept up with a lot of people from high school and hope that I'll be able to soon. I wasn't a "popular" person in high school, bu...Expand for more
t hopefully the ones who remember me will remember me as a good guy who was there for them.
Sports.
I've taken up golf! Never thought that would happen! I got hooked on it a couple of years ago, and spend most of my time in the woods trying to find the ball. Of course, my favorite activity is still hunting. Every November I'm on vacation and still hunting. I'm also into volleyball alot more. I'm in a league in Tampa every Friday night and LOVE IT!
Life.
It hasn't always been a bed of roses for us, but we've come out on top most of the time. I never thought I'd be going into the ministry, but I can't wait to get credentialed and start this new chapter in life.
Last thoughts.
Hope to hear from you all soon. I miss the "old days" from time to time, and still get a kick out of telling my girls about the things we did back then. You should see the look on their faces! God bless!
