For eight generations, my family has proudly called Greenville home, giving me a deep personal connection to the stories, landmarks, and people that shape our community. Preserving Upstate history has always been a family tradition—one first captured when my cousin Choice published the original edition of this pictorial history back in 1983.

My own passion for uncovering the past started early. As a dedicated history and genealogy enthusiast, I spent countless weekends walking local historic cemeteries, meticulously researching records, and documenting the final resting places of generations gone before us. Pairing that love for preservation with an avid eye behind the lens as a lifelong photographer, I know firsthand how a single, carefully preserved image can bring our shared heritage vividly back to life.

A proud 1995 graduate of Greenville High School, this community is where my roots run deepest—it’s even where I met my husband, Wil, in the cafeteria back in 1991. Today, we are blessed to raise our son, Mac, right here at home in Greenville, alongside our dog Daffy and cat Calliope.
