2013 COUNTY OFFICIAL OF THE YEAR


sean tuohy

“Sean was an American success story: he had come from nothing and made himself rich,” wrote michael Lewis in The Blind Side, the best-selling book that inspired the major motion picture starring Sandra Bullock and tim mcGraw. The Blind Side tells the story of michael Oher, a homeless teenager turned first round draft pick nFL football player, with the support and love of an unlikely adoptive family: the tuohys. Sean tuohy, michael’s adoptive father, was a professional basketball player before becoming a successful entrepreneur and nBA broadcaster.

Sean tuohy knew what it meant to be the poor kid in a private school—he had been one himself. With sports as his “meal ticket” through high school and college, Sean left new Orleans for the University of mississippi on a basketball scholarship. When Sean walked off the court after his final game, he had shattered every major SeC assists-related record and become a legend in the SeC hall of fame for leading the Ole miss rebels to their first and only Championship.

drafted by the new Jersey nets in 1982, he opted to continue his career overseas before returning to the US to be with his father in his final days. He became a successful entrepreneur, building a company that now owns and operates 70 fast food restaurants, including taco Bell and Long John Silver’s.

Sean has been married to his college cheerleader sweetheart, the former Leigh Anne roberts, for 30 years and they are the proud parents of daughter Collins (25) and sons michael Oher (26) and Sean, Jr. (19).

Sean is also in his 11th season as an nBA broadcaster for the memphis Grizzlies, after several years as an analyst for radio broadcasts at Ole miss as well as national broadcasts for Westwood One and CBS radio.

In addition to his demanding business, broadcasting, school and church schedules (he also helped to create one of the fastest growing evangelical churches in memphis, the Grace evangelical Church) Sean is heavily involved in supporting several minority students at Briarcrest Christian School. “It’s easy to beat a kid up. The hard thing is to build him up,” Sean says. With that philosophy in mind, Sean and Leigh Anne brought michael into their home, supported him through school, and eventually adopted him as their son.

From the perspective of a dedicated father and inspirational coach, Sean asks all of us to consider a simple question: how many other kids just like michael Oher are falling through the cracks every day? And how can we make an impact big enough to change a broken system?
