My name is Erik Hardison and I am currently a first year graduate student here at Augusta State University. I am studying to obtain my Master’s in Clinical Psychology. My undergraduate degree is from a small college in West Georgia called LaGrange College, and I know what some of you are thinking “ASU only has 6,000+ students, this is a small college” but I assure you LaGrange College’s staggering enrollment of 1,150 students is an actual small college. But I digress. While at LaGrange College, I played football and was the Offensive Captain for all three years. I was also involved in Psi Chi and was the Vice President for the Student Athletic Advisory Committee.

I was born and raised in Macon, Georgia. I am the second born child, and I have three siblings, an older brother who teaches in Athens, a younger brother who is an Accounting major at GC&SU, and a little sister who is a junior in high school. My father is an accountant and my mother used to be the lead singer for the band “The Grapevine”. I really enjoy long walks on the beach and puppies… Of course I am only kidding (about the puppies). Honestly, I am very big into Xbox 360, playing Texas Hold’em, Mixed Martial Arts, and working out. I really love all sports, but I am a college football fanatic (GO BLUE!). Enjoy the blogs…
