TD’s journey took him from Atlanta, Georgia to Starkville, Mississippi, where he joined Coach Lebby’s staff for their first season at Mississippi State, working on the defensive side of the ball. During Super Bulldog Weekend, he noticed Emmie emceeing the spring game. At the time, Emmie was working with the Bulldog Initiative in NIL fundraising, and that chance encounter marked the beginning of their story. From that day forward, the two have been inseparable. Their relationship quickly grew, grounded in their shared love for the Lord and deep commitment to family. Not long after they began dating, they welcomed a new addition to their lives—a rescue Golden Pyrenees named Petal, who has become the heart of their little family. Today, TD and Emmie have moved to Atlanta and now call Inman Park home. They are grateful for the ways God has woven their story together and cherish the words of 1 Corinthians 13:13: “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”
