When Byron was a youngster growing up in a typical Southeastern city in Alabama called Calera.  In Calera everyone knew one another and you knew every street name and number.  Byron quickly learned the true growth of Calera when he attended a city council meeting back in the spring.  

Shelby county in Central Alabama is the fastest growing County in Alabama. Calera is the fastest growing City in Alabama.  Many new residents and business have formed in Calera over the past couple of years.  Known as the heart of the Heart of Dixie Calera has developed into one of the major focal cities in Alabama.

"They were discussing one of the newest sub-divisions in Calera (Savannah Point).  I truly had no idea about where they were talking about, until one of the council members informed me about where it was located.  That tells you how fast Calera has developed and grown over the years.  This is why it is so important for me to return to give back to the community that offered me so much as a youth." comments De'Vinner.

Another area of change in Calera is the love of sports.  When Byron was at Calera High School, it was a football power with basketball on the rise.  These days Calera High School is a basketball power.  Just capping off a state championship in basketball, Calera sent its first basketball athlete ever to the Southeastern Conference (Vanderbilt University).  

"With the emergence of Calera being a basketball school, I am delighted to have a charity basketball game instead of softball game." Says De'Vinner.

"Byron has been like family to us. We have been by his side since he was young.  He has such a big heart, that even myself I am sometimes surprised by his determination.  He has reached out to so many hearts in Calera and we are so proud of him."
