My name is James Lee Ford and I’m from Atlanta, Georgia. I go by James or James Lee people call me both, and I really don’t care. While I personally prefer the country or the beach or the mountains, I’m used to living in a big city with a lot of traffic, and Tuscaloosa is quite a change. I went to a private school in the not so notorious college park, which now actually is starting to look like inner city suburbs, and I grew up in Buckhead.
I went to a pretty big high school, about three thousand students, and played football and lacrosse. Though I tried to play the hardass, jock role in school, I am not embarrassed to say that I also sang in the chorus. Our chorus group travelled to Italy and France the summer on a two week trip to perform, and while I dreaded the trip the entire year I have to say now that it was probably the best trip I’ve ever been on. To my surprise I actually loved Europe. I have an older brother who actually lives in Toulouse, France, and I always thought that was just weird until I travelled there. Now I can kind of understand. I also have a younger sister who is planning on coming to Alabama next year. I also am a pretty avid outdoorsman. I enjoy backpacking, climbing, and have had a little experience in kayaking and rafting.
Ok so that’s kind of who I am and where I’m from. Here in Tuscaloosa I am playing lacrosse and trying out rugby. Beside that pretty much the only other thing to do down her is party and go to football games which works fine for me.
