A brief personal history:

I have spent my life in North and South Carolina, born and raised. My family consists of my wife Tabatha, daughters Meighan Quinn & Celeste Rainwater, son Trevor Rainwater, my two granddaughters Mattie & Marleigh Quinn....and a son-in-law Matt Quinn. I hold a bachelor's degree in Business Management from Coker University and an associate's degree in Business Administration from Northeastern Technical College. I am currently an Environmental Health and Safety Specialist for Schaeffler Group USA. 

What led you to your sport:

I began lifting weights and working out around 20 just to get bigger and feel better about myself. Over the years, I attended a few powerlifting meets and finally convinced myself to enter a meet to see how I would do. After my first meet, where I placed 2nd place) I was hooked. Each year I compete in around 5 or 6 competitions and always include one significant event, such as a World, National, or State event.
