     I was born and raised in Alexander City, Alabama . My father was a Dentist and my Mother a Teacher and both were Auburn Grads. As a child I participated in all three levels of boy scouts. And loved the outdoors. In the summers we lived at our lake cottage on Lake Martin enjoying skiing , fishing, and hanging out with friends.
     I became a certified scuba diver ( YMCA,NAUI, & PADI ) at the age of 15. I began hunting at the early age of nine and to this day it’s a sport I very much enjoy. I attended Benjamin Russell High School and upon graduation attended the University of Alabama and also became a member of PHI KAPPA PHI fraternity. My wife ( Sherry ) and I have been married for twenty-three years.
     We have six children and thirteen grandchildren. I own Insulation Specialist performing industrial and commercial insulation since 1985. In 2000, I began work at Sylacauga Marine & ATV where I’m currently employed as Parts and Warranty Administrator.
     I started Hunter Education in 2006, through the help of Jerry Fincher and Stuart Goldsby becoming a volunteer instructor and eventually a certified instructor for AHEA. I enjoy working with a dedicated group of instructors that are very committed to the whole purpose of AHEA and look forward to working with them in the future.
