Hello everyone, my name is Travis Crouch and I am a candidate for Gilmer Post 2 Commissioner. Let me begin by introducing myself. I am a healthy 55 year old lifelong resident of the great state of Georgia. I have been married to Shirley, the love of my life for the past 33 years. Our only daughter, Whitney Crouch has been a staff writer for the Times Courier for the past 4 years. We first bought property here in Gilmer back in 1989 and we built a second home there a couple of years later. We have hiked the trails and paddled the streams of Gilmer County for the past 30 years and have been fortunate enough to call Gilmer our full time home for the past twelve. I approach life from a Christian worldview, and my family worships at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Cherrylog. We love the outdoors, and Shirley and I own and operate North Georgia Mountain Outfitters, a local shop serving the hiking, backpacking, and paddling community. Check back in the weeks ahead. I will be introducing myself more fully along with my dreams for our wonderful community. For now, however, let me just say welcome, I’m glad you’re here. Til next time, Travis
