Brittany participated in FFA through high school. William participated in Boy Scouts and earned the rank of Eagle Scout. Their families taught them to serve and to love helping others, which led them both to careers in the fire service. They served at their local volunteer fire departments since they were junior firefighters and later at municipal and county fire departments, where they both rose through the ranks and became Deputy Fire Marshals, honing their skills of budgets, planning, organization, teamwork and managing efficiencies. William also served in the Army and still serves as a Reserve Officer at a unit near their home. Brittany graduated from Mount Olive University with a Master’s in Business Administration and William graduated from Waldorf University with a Master’s in Organizational Leadership. They are active with their local church where they find strength in the community fellowship, and opportunities to give back with their time and energy. Brittany is an avid vegetable gardener & canning expert, loves to make homemade crafts while repurposing stuff around their house, and keeps up a chicken coop for fun and for her love of chickens. Williams’ hobbies include volunteering on the local search and rescue team, woodworking, and tending to the cows on their small farm. They both enjoy a Hobby Lobby or Tractor Supply trip.
