Justin Payne
Nellis, WV
"I was born in Cleveland back in the 1970s and moved here when I was real small and have lived here all of my life," . "Other than being born in Cleveland, this is it for me, right here in Boone County. Now, I am an electrician in the coal mines. I work on the electric around the mines, in the mines, on the mines - anything that isn't operated by Appalachian Electric Power, we tend to it. I've been one of the lucky ones during the last eight years or so that has dodged all of the layoffs. So, I thought I'd give back to the ones that were not as fortunate as me."
All proceeds from the current project goes to the food banks. If you would like one click Justin's link below.
