What are three things on your bucket list?
NARLISE Travel to Japan; Get to my ideal weight; Hike the Grand
Canyon the day before the New Year so that when the fresh year
rolls around, I can see the sunrise on a beautiful landscape and
know that I am starting it anew.
JUSTIN Win a Strongman pro card; Travel internationally;
Make it to retirement.
If you could give one piece of advice to a young person,
what would it be?
NARLISE “Don’t do tomorrow what can be done today.” I heard
this quote on a tv show once, and it has stuck with me since. At
times, we want to put off our responsibilities for tomorrow instead
of handling the situation at that moment, and I feel like that is what
puts us behind everyone else.
JUSTIN Aspire to achieve something truly great and work
relentlessly to attain it.
Share some things you enjoy doing in your spare time.
NARLISE I enjoy reading thriller novels or cooking. But, honestly,
time is hard to come by when you work 12-hour shifts.
JUSTIN I enjoy relaxing at home, eating good food, and training
in the gym for Strongman competitions.
What is your favorite thing about Madison County?
NARLISE The way we all work together to keep our areas safe for
our loved ones. The respect that we have for one another is what
keeps this county going, regardless of the color of our skin or
backgrounds. When a person is walking through a door, we hold it
open. When asked a question, it is always answered with a yes
ma’am or no sir.
JUSTIN My favorite thing is living in the City of Ridgeland. Being
in an interracial marriage, I feel more at home living there amongst
the diverse population, and we have received nothing but kindness
from the people there.
