Terry Blake Nunnelly

Terry Blake Nunnelly’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary, a blend of resilience, faith, purpose, and relentless ambition. A proud native of Alabama, born in 1977 in the Heart of Dixie, he stands as a powerful emblem of courage, community service, and unwavering spiritual devotion. His life’s path, from surviving natural disasters to building a legacy in construction, aerospace, and humanitarian service, has inspired many across the United States and beyond.

Terry recently graduated from the prestigious USIDHR Academy in Washington D.C., joining a global movement advocating for peace, prosperity, and the preservation of cultural heritage. That milestone not only elevated his global vision but also energized his next chapter building his non-profit, studying international business, and continuing his advocacy for human rights and freedom from modern-day slavery and trafficking.

Terry believes that enjoying our lives while exercising our human rights fosters healthier communities and a more unified world. His philosophy is simple yet powerful: “One connection at a time.” He encourages people to ripple like waves, create change, and shine in their own journeys while supporting one another in freedom and dignity.

When a tornado devastated his rural community of Ragan Chapel four years ago, Terry didn’t just rebuild, he led the recovery. Their historic church, dating back to the 1880s, was the heart of the community. Despite losing buildings, homes, and more, Terry and his neighbors united and rose stronger than ever. Inspired by this resilience and further motivation when Hurricane Ian struck, he founded Tbone’s Contracting & Construction LLC. With a simple prayer and a voice command to Google, he became a United States Federal Contractor in October 2022, quickly making a mark through FEMA, USDA, and other federal agencies.

With 18 years of aerospace leadership, Terry brought a unique level of precision, safety, and quality to his construction work. His dedication was recognized nationally as he was invited to join the National Small Business Leadership Council, representing North Alabama with distinction. As Owner and CEO, he stands as a voice for small businesses and underserved communities.

Terry’s creative spirit also flourished. His first book, Tales of Tbone, evolved into a five-book series, with the debut title You May Not, But EastWood slated for release in late 2025. He penned his first song, applied for U.S. copyright and trademark protection, and even stepped into the Hollywood spotlight, attending backstage auditions, collaborating with other creatives, and joining Ankler Media. Through it all, he remains grounded in his faith, family, and the unwavering support of his community.

A former international bull-riding rodeo cowboy, survivalist, and outdoorsman, Terry’s life has been marked by near-death experiences, healed by doctors across the globe. His enduring spirit earned him the title of “one of the toughest men alive.” Yet, he lives with grace, gratitude, and a heart full of compassion. With the loyal companionship of his service dog SAM, Terry pushes forward with a mission to inspire, protect, and serve. His dream? To be counted among the top 100 men who changed the world or perhaps, one day, the President of the United States.

Terry Blake Nunnelly continues to shine his light with unwavering purpose and humility. From the fields of Alabama to the halls of Washington, D.C., and the stages of Hollywood, his journey reflects what it means to live free, walk in faith, and lead with love. In his own words: 'Slow down, enjoy the journey, aim high, and savor the honeysuckle fruits of the vine."
