Since we are a young and growing community, I thought we should get to know each other. (Plus, I stole the idea from another forum I am on.)

Let us hear about your family, friends, hobbies, job, etc. Also, what does your screen name mean?

Cockyhoskins is a combo of my last name and my love for the Gamecocks. (And my wife says it suits my personality. LOL!)

I am 31. I have a super hot wife (my second) and two beautiful kids (from my first marriage), Abbey (8) and Noah (5).

I was the youngest graduate of the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1995 at the age of 22. I practiced law in Greenville, SC for a little over 3 years, then went to work with Ryan's Family Steak Houses, a national restaurant chain with 350 restaurants, in their real estate department. After being promoted to Director at Ryan's, I left for Fatz Cafe, a regional restaurant company with only 25 restaurants, in 2003 to be their Director of Real Estate. I stayed with Fatz for only 11 months, as I moved on to my current position as the Chief Operating Officer for NAI Earle Furman, LLC, the upstate of SC's largest commercial real estate firm.

In addition to the Gamecocks, my passions include Corvettes and cigars. I am currently finishing my basement, which you can see on www.cockyhoskins.com .

That's about it for now. What's your story???
