My name is Blaine Marriott. I was born and raised in Hot Springs, Arkansas. I attended Lake Hamilton High School. After graduating from Lake Hamilton High School, I chose to attend Arkansas Tech University while I was there. I chose to study emergency administration and management. Most people don't know what it is. It's basically the study of how we prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate against any and all disasters. It can include tornadoes, all the way to a supply chain disruption, or even a cybersecurity threat. It's a very broad study, but a little bit more about me personally. I enjoy watching sports. I played sports in high school. I enjoy the outdoors. I enjoy spending time with friends and family. I really enjoy getting out on the water, considering I'm from Hot Springs, living around Lake Hamilton, Lake Washita has really been nice.
