After graduating from Western Carolina, I lived in Florida and Nebraska for awhile before returning to the Asheville area. My first marriage didn't turn out the way I planned but did produce two children that I cherish, one of which made me a grandfather a couple of years ago. I met and eventually married my wife in church (where I should have spent more time earlier)and together with her's, mine and ours we have five children ranging from 21 to 7 years of age. I returned to school and received an MBA in 2004 from Western Carolina and my career has taken me to Jefferson, Georgia where I am Purchasing Manager for Kubota Tractor Corporaton. My wife, Jennifer and I hope to get back to the Asheville area soon.

Not much until I married Bob in 1988 (the day of our 10 yr reunion!). But BOY did I make up for it after that! We have 3 beautiful kids Jessica 19, Joshua 17, and Samantha 14. We were both in cable TV for many years and it took us from Myrtle Beach to Lake Lure to Asheville to Chicago and back to Charlotte. We decided to retire and move back to the beach. That didn't suit me, so I've gone back to work doing the flowers for Costco. Jessie's on track for management with BiLo after spending last summer bumming around the US, Josh is in a rock band, and Sam's busy with swim meets and boys.
