I grew up in Vicksburg, MS and attended Warren Central High School. I attended Mississippi State University in Starkville, MS. I started dating my high school friend Megan Woleben Kolb while in college. We were married shortly after college graduation.
I really enjoy travel. Before graduating college, I had made two separate trips to Europe. While living in Mississippi, I enjoyed weekend trips to Memphis, Birmingham, New Orleans, and the gulf coast. Moving to Columbia, Maryland, which is just outside of the Baltimore, MD and Washington, DC metro areas, after college graduation has given me an entirely new set of areas to explore. During the summer of 2012, I moved to Memphis, TN to be closer to friends and family.
I also enjoy the outdoors. I frequently went on canoeing and camping trips while in the Boy Scouts where I attained the rank of Eagle Scout. Columbia also offered the ability to make short drives to the Appalachian Trail for over night backpacking trips.
My sister Brittany Kolb is also getting married to Michael Mann in May of 2012, and I designed the Mann wedding website.
