Born in west Virginia, grew up in Clearwater FL, adventured in Virginia Beach, VA. I served 4 years in the United States Army. Two years in Germany, and two years at Fort Campbell, KY. Fell in love with Middle Tn and decided to call it home. Did some time at Austin Peay. Went to work for Schwan's Frozen Foods for over 7 years. Built a strong foundation for what was just around the corner and met my good friend Norm Ferguson
