In his time away from work, he has the privilege of raising his two sons and partaking in all the outdoor activities South Carolina has to offer. They enjoy spending time on the water and hiking in the mountains.

Outside of work, Blair spends every chance she can out in nature, and she’s currently working on her bucket list of visiting every national park.
