Mrs. Mandy Grigsby
I have been married for 20 years. My husband Bryan and I have 2 children ~ Jackson who is 16 and Chloe who is 14. Our children are our pride and joy. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading, camping, going to the lake, going to the beach, and watching my kids play sports - my son plays basketball while Chloe plays guitar and photography. We also really enjoy going to Clemson to watch football – GO TIGERS!!!
