I have been a NC Paramedic since 1993 working in Haywood County, Greenville County SC and Pickens County SC. I was a firefighter with Center Pigeon Fire Department in Haywood County for almost 30 years. I am currently an Insurance Agent in Haywood County as well as a Haywood County Commissioner. I worked with teenagers for 20 years by teaching Sunday School and/or leading the youth groups in several churches located in Haywood County. My family and I continue to attend church. I have always enjoyed giving of myself to help others. I have been married to Rebecca Messer Pless for 32 years. We have raised two sons together Jared Pless and Gage Pless.
