I had the good fortune to win an intermediate prize in a drawing. To win the Grand Prize, the contest asked that you post a photo of "Your Ideal Grand Prize."

So without hesitating, I posted the photo below.

If you think for a moment, it would be the perfect Grand Prize for a guy like me.

My own Home Depot store!

How about you? Do you think there are enough goodies inside those walls to keep you occupied???

Paint Associate
I have been an associate with The Home Depot for ten years and specialize in preparation and application of the full line of interior and exterior paints and stains sold by The Home Depot. I teach DIY Paint classes in faux finishing, wall and trim painting, furniture refinishing, and deck and hardwood floor resurfacing. Every day, I demo products sold under the Martha Living, Behr, Glidden, and Minwax brands. I assist pro-painters with specialty products like Graco Paint Sprayers, commercial-grade product selection, and order-only products for refinishing swimming pools. As a personal (not for hire) venture, I renovate homes and work with a cross-section of building materials from all departments at The Home Depot. I help customers with their entire project and often “walk” customers to departments all across the store to demonstrate products, services, and tools. In the local community, I served as a Scout Master in Boy Scouts of America for more than six-years. My son, an Eagle Scout and recipient of The Homer Fund Scholarship, is an Engineering student at Georgia Tech. My daughter is a guitar enthusiast, performed in the Color Guard with her High School Band, and was recently selected as a member of the University of Alabama Color Guard ... Roll Tide! She is enrolled in the School of Engineering. My personal interests include retriever training, fly fishing, outdoor food preparation and countless other outdoor activities. I also enjoy well-prepared seafood and listening to the waves crash onto the beautiful white sands of the Gulf Coast. I am a Founding Member of the East Cobb Chapter of Ducks Unlimited, whose resources are devoted toward conservation of wetlands. Based upon my customers’ feedback, I am the recipient of multiple Platinum Awards; THD’s landmark award for excellence in customer service.
