I was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee where I spent the first 5 years of my earthly life. In 1961, my family moved to rural Chickamauga, Georgia where I lived for the next 12 years. At 17 years of age, on June 15, 1974, I married my beautiful wife. I have now, in the year 2023, been married to that same "beautiful girl" for 49+ years.
