Dr. Brian Sellers and Courtney Cribbs

Meet Brian

Brian Sellers was born and raised in nearby Hazlehurst, GA.  He graduated from Georgia Southern University with a Bachelor of Business Administration in 1996.  He had a varied path that led from Sales, to IT work for the CDC in Atlanta, to owning a cabinet company with his brother.  After losing the business to a fire, he and his brother pursued a career in dentistry at Augusta University Dental College of Georgia, where he continued his studies in the field of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.  After graduating he was blessed to find an opportunity to join previous DWTSS two-time competitor Dr. Suketu Patel, and local legend Dr. Rodrigo Uribe at East Georgia Center for Oral and Facial Surgery.

Being able to be a part of the community that brings back such fond memories has been a blessing.  Like most of South Georgia, the need for dental surgery care is always difficult.  Brian and his partners strive to provide quality, timely, and compassionate care to the best of their ability.  Their staff and facilities are top notch and strive for comforting care in stressful situations.

Brian met his wife Mia while at GSU dancing the two-step many years ago.  He has two boys Kyle (23) who is a second year at AU Dental College of Georgia, and Carter (20) who is a Junior here at GSU.  Both of his boys are noted Carolina Shag dancers as well.  The greatest part of being back in Statesboro is the people.  Running into friends from 7th grade Y-Club to meeting all the new people that have made it home reminds him every day how special this community really is.

Courtney is also a member of Nevils Trinity Baptist Church, where she is a part of the Media team.

Being no stranger to a stage and given the invitation to dance for such a great cause, there was no way she could turn down this opportunity. This is Courtney’s second year with Dancing with the Statesboro Stars as a pro dancer. However, this year is a little different as her boss is her dance partner.

Winter Hall and Katie Byers

Winter Hall and Katie Byers

Meet Winter

Winter Hall was born and raised in Millen, GA. She married her high school sweetheart, James Hall, in 2005 and they have two children, Burke (11) and Chloe (8). The couple have called Statesboro home for the last thirteen years. In 2017, their dream of owning a t-shirt company came true when they started “2Fish Apparel,” a local custom t-shirt, embroidery, and promotional products company. Her business degree and his printing degree help serve them well as they continue to grow their business, focusing on customer service and quality.

From volunteering for T.R.A.C. to serving at church, Winter has always had a passion for helping others. Her hope and prayer is that others will realize how loved and valued they are by God, even when they don’t feel like it. Last year, she wrote a book called “Made for More: Finding Hope in the Midst of Darkness.” She hopes to inspire others through the struggles of   losing a loved one (her father), but also the everyday struggles they may face in life. So often it’s so hard to speak up when you are going through a difficult time, as it was for me. Through the writing of this book, she hopes to inspire others to speak up, and seek help if needed. By participating in Dancing with the Stars, she hopes to bring awareness to not only domestic violence, but also teen dating violence. Love Should Never Hurt!

Winter is excited to be involved with such an amazing organization as Safe Haven and is grateful for the opportunity to support them by DWTSS.

Meet Jad

Jad Deal was raised in the southwest corner of Georgia by his parents, Stan and Brandi Deal, but has had family on this side of the state his whole life. Being fortunate enough to travel all over with his father for work, he was able to meet many people from several different backgrounds. His three siblings- an older sister, a younger sister, and a younger brother- helped him to build people skills which would eventually lead him to the stage. 

He started acting on stage in the third grade at the local theater where a year later he would become a founding member of an acting, singing, and dancing group called The Olive Troupe along with his older sister. He was a part of that group until the eighth grade. Afterwards, he joined his older sister at the school’s newly rebooted Legacy Show Choir. He would spend all of high school in the club and gained the title of student choreographer. He also performed with the local dance studio, whose owner was the choreographer for the high school show choir. During his senior year, he joined another community theater group at Cotton Hall called Swamp Gravy where he was a part of six shows in just ten months. 

He eventually moved to Statesboro for college and now works full time for family friends, Jarrod and Becca Creasy, at 920 Cattle + Company. When Jarrod competed as a star in 2022, Jad was inspired to do the same. However, his previous experience along with his family’s encouragement drove him to put his name down as a pro. He is a relative newcomer to the Statesboro area but greatly looks forward to using his talents to compete in Dancing with the Statesboro Stars and help do amazing things for both Safe Haven and his new community.
