Wayne McCullough

Allen Wayne McCullough Born as Allen Wayne Smith to parents Carolyn Hannah and James Earl Smith was quickly adopted by his grandparents on his father's side Davis Roy McCullough and Marie Stanley. He was raised on a ranch in Polkville, MS and attended Raleigh High School in Raleigh, MS. He had a bumpy high school career at best and ended up getting out early by obtaining his GED rather than go the traditional graduation route. This was because upon being tested it was discovered that he had an extremely high IQ. In the area, and time he was in school there were no programs available to help him. Wayne spent time as a sheriff's dept. officer in Brandon, MS under sheriff Ronnie Pennington and after that went into third party sales of things like Directv and at&t. He worked his way up to having his own regional sales office in Houston, TX as he has a knack for business. After a vehement disagreement with his company he moved home to take care of his father who was in ill health at the time and has since moved to NC near Asheville where he attends college with American Public University and teaches modernized HEMA (Historical Eastern European Martial Arts) for free every Sunday (usually) at Weaver park with a group known as the EMP (Empire of Medieval Pursuits) to spread historical knowledge, crafts, arts and combat training to all comers. He is tied with Greensboro, NC martial arts academy through Nathanael Despain and is known to occasionally guest instruct with him on rare occasions. There has been talks of him leading a seminar on his style of sword combat in Hendersonville, NC but no official schedule as of yet. He is a published poet and a Twitch streamer under a playing under one of his nicknames "Diesel_Fueled".
