I found this part of an article in the Business Journal of Tri-Cities of Tennessee/Virginia. The article had to do with ETSU's College of Business and Technology. They inducted a few Hall of Fame Members. The article did not come out and say that David Farmer won this award, but he was mentioned in the article a few times. Here's what I found: (Interesting information that I didn't already know about Kenny's friends).Source: bjournal.com
David Farmer came from Knoxville to ETSU with his two best friends, Tim Holt and Kenny Chesney, buddies since the fourth grade.
With his 1990 ETSU diploma, he was on track for a successful career in banking, but then fate intervened. His friend, Kenny Chesney, was striving to develop a career as an entertainer. He needed the support of friends who believed in him and had his best interests at heart. David Farmer became his manager, and Tim Holt handles marketing and merchandising.
Farmer’s job description is deceptively simple: He does whatever is necessary to keep Chesney and his voice in good health; oversees the crew handling technical aspects; and coordinates with other acts participating in tours. Chesney is the reigning Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year, and Farmer’s simple manager’s job description now means overseeing 17 trucks of equipment, a touring staff of 90, including a 10-person culinary staff serving lunch and dinner to some 150 people daily—and a 230-pound stuffed marlin.
