I was born in Burlington, North Carolina but have lived in the Greenville, South Carolina area most of my life. After college I joined an engineering firm and worked procurement for 45 years until retirement. My wife and I have two sons.

I have used Find-A-Grave and traced generations of family members and the areas they inhabited (Howard, Slaughter, Wilhelm, and McKay on my side, Aldrich, Jones, Kyle and Kirby on my wife's side).
