ABOUT ME
My name is Durrell Mast, and I’m 19 years old. I am a Christian and God is a very important part of my life. I would be nothing without Him, and I try to live for Him no matter what others think of me. I was born and raised in Fair Play, SC. I went to a small private school, Fair Play Christian School, and really didn’t enjoy school too much mainly because of how small it was. I graduated from high school in 2005, and started working construction. I’ve done roofing, vinal siding, electrical, and some framing, and through this experience decided I didn’t want to work on construction crews my whole life. So, this fall (2008), I started college at Tri-County Technical College. I’m planning to transfer to Clemson eventually to major in Civil Engineering. I am currently working at Yoder's Building Supply in Fair Play doing framing take-offs (figuring up how much lumber is needed to build a house).
PERSONALITY
I’m a very analytical person, and I think everything through before I do it. I tend to overthink things and do more than I'd have to, but I'd much rather do it right the first time than have to do something twice. I’m a loyal friend, and people tell me I’m a good listener, but I don’t really open up to many people. I'm quiet and stay to myself until you get to know me, then you can't get me to shut up.
HOBBYS
I like hanging out with friends, and meeting new people. I enjoy playing sports: basketball, football, softball, tennis, etc. I also enjoy wakeboarding and snowboarding although I don’t get to go nearly as often as I would like. I absolutely love the ocean, and my dream is to live close to the beach someday. Music is my getaway. It’s a great stress reliever for me. I've bin playing acoustic guitar on an off since I was 8, and I also have an electric guitar but I’m much better at acoustic. My favorite band is probably Breaking Benjamin although I love many kinds of music including rock, country, Christian, hip-hop, and rap. I don’t think I could really live without music. I'd love to play in a band someday, but I doubt it'll ever happen. I enjoy watching college football and basketball. The Clemson Tigers are the best!
