MEET THE BOND COUNTY CEO CLASS OF 2025
Ashton White is the son of Jeremy and Stephanie White and currently attends Greenville High School. He participates in Comets Cross Country and Comets Track and Field. In his time away from school and sports, Ashton enjoys volunteering at the local Farm Heritage Museum at the Historic Hills Fort, where he works as a blacksmith, creating hand-forged items for the museum and the community. After graduation, he plans to join the United States Navy with hopes of pursuing a career in engineering or mechanics. Ashton is excited to participate in the CEO program because he believes it will help him grow as a person and assist in growing his business. The program has opened many new doors for several of his friends, which has inspired him to pursue his business through the program.
Ashton owns and operates his own blacksmith business, where he hand-forges a variety of items for sale, including key rings, fire pokers, and dinner bells. He was inspired to start his business during COVID when he watched the TV show Forged in Fire. Since then, he has transitioned from producing knives to creating the items he makes today, and he is pleased to still be pursuing this passion after four years.
Ashton is sponsored by Circle-M Weld & Fab Inc.
