My biggest achievement in life has been to marry the girl down the street, raise our 4 children together and continue to share in their lives along with our 3 grandchildren.

I am an avid reader. Favorite authors are Anne Rice and Stephen King, though I’m leaning toward funny and light-hearted these days. Probably due to all the children’s books I read to my kids now.

I have been married to my best friend for almost 45 years and raised four awesome children.

I enjoy working on cars, but mostly my own. Anything from basic car repairs to completely custom modifications. Ex: Installed a Nintendo in the car for long drive-thru waits.

My daughter Cora is the best thing that has ever happened to me! I love watching her grow each and every day.

A favorite pastime of mine is playing cornhole. For the past 6 years or so, a bunch of friends all meet up on Thursday evening to play some cornhole during the summer. We now are in a league during the winter months. I like it because its all about throwing bags with your buddies.

I like to do home improvement whether inside or outside. It's always nice to see the completed product.

My favorite hobby is fishing because I enjoy being on the water and I just never know what I'm going to catch.

I'm very proud of graduating my daughter from high school. This a personal accomplishment for me because I've been homeschooling her since first grade. She graduated a year early with a year's worth of college credit and this fall she's headed to Virginia Commonwealth University to study nursing. I couldn't be prouder.
