Sometimes getting our hands dirty is enough to lead! #leadership

There are many times that I am amazed after meeting a college student; thinking, they are so smart, motivated, and will do amazing things! I many times contrast this with my college experience, pondering if I had that much focus and determination in college, my path might have been so much different. When I met Davidson College student Marisa Wilson, her path and her willingness to literally get her hands dirty to solve large environmental issues was spectacular. She was The Duke Endowment’s Profile of Service for the Summer and she is studying environmental science, focusing on the science of agriculture and climate change and exploring the intersections of food, biology, agriculture and social policy. We enjoyed our time with her as we captured her time in the garden and on campus at Davidson College. This project was shot with #Canon #5Dmkiii and #c100 leveraging #DJI #RoninMX.

It is amazing the connectivity of a church and a community. #BBC

It is amazing the connectivity of a church and a community. Here we are celebrating the 70th birthday of a dear friend Mrs. Sarah Sprague. She has taken on the role as teacher, connector, leader, and even grandmother to many of our children. She has served Anderson University, Boulevard Baptist Church, and the Anderson community both within the city limits and as far as China. She is one that I am most appreciative of our relationship and her connective energy is representative of so many in the room celebrating. Happy Birthday Mrs. Sarah Sprague! #Canon #5dmarkiii #BringIt

I had the wonderful opportunity to interview Mr. Bill Barnet.

I had the wonderful opportunity to interview Mr. Bill Barnet. I am sure many of my friends and colleagues know Bill, but our time chatting was more than intriguing...it was insightful. Here is a man who grew up working in the family Textile Mill becoming an amazing servant of Spartanburg. As a member of the Board of Trustees for the Duke Endowment, he has help lead amazing philanthropic initiatives impacting so many people in South Carolina. His interview was one of the most intriguing, insightful, and uplifting conversation as we spoke directly about a man that was the beneficiary of Access Health Spartanburg, funded by The Duke Endowment and supported by Spartanburg Regional. He said that Dwight Rice's story touched him in so many ways, giving credence to an initiative helping so many Carolinians with healthcare. I can't wait to share Dwight's story and Bill's perspective, showcasing amazing healthcare innovation for the uninsured. #Canon #5dmarkiii #BringIt #healthcare
