Hank has found his home back in Charlotte. Born and raised in Charlotte, Hank was exposed to all that Charlotte had to offer. Growing up, his mother was in the event planning business and worked with ECE on many occasions. He often found himself as Cyndee's son rather than Hank due to her exposure and popularity in the city.

Hank spent 6 years in Connecticut and New Jersey at 2 different boarding schools before landing at High Point University on a baseball scholarship. After 4 years at HPU, graduating with a degree in communication, he landed his first job in Washington DC as an account manager for one of the premier home furnishing companies in the world. While in DC, he continued to have his eyes set on his hometown of Charlotte and the entertainment business. In 2014, the stars aligned, and he found himself back in Charlotte and with ECE.
