My name is Michelle Prater. I was born and raised in LA, (Lower Alabama) I currently reside in Sharpsburg, GA for the last 34 years, with my lovely husband, Mark Prater, three daughters, two sons and six grandkids.

My personal goals are to see my kids grow up and be successful in life and to treat people the way I would want to be treated.

My professional goals are to be a role model for others wanting to aspire in the sport of volleyball and  to give back to the sport that has blessed me with many achievements. To name a few; to referee the 1st pro league volleyball match in the USA, Gold Whistle winner and to officiate six NCAA D1 National Championships.

My hobbies are anything that has to do with volleyball, spending time with family and in the near future working on a horse farm that Mark and I have been building for years.
