David Ward has spent his entire life in Fort Mill, South Carolina — the same small town where his father served 47 years on the fire department before him. In this conversation, David shares what it means to have real roots: knowing neighbors by name across three and four generations, watching Main Street fade and come back to life, and finding purpose through a lifetime of quiet service.
We talk about the legendary Halloween "two-bagger," the Springs Close family's role in preserving Fort Mill's character, and what it takes for a small town to keep its soul when growth is pressing in from every direction. David also opens up about eating lunch on a park bench with a homeless man named Roosevelt, why he challenges retirees to record their stories on their phones, and the faith that underpins everything he does.
His message to anyone, anywhere: welcome people in, listen to their story, serve without waiting for credit — and know that the history you're living right now is the history someone else will treasure later.
