Biography

I have had the pleasure of calling Knoxville my home for over 36 years. Upon graduating Farragut High School I went to Pellissippi State then earned a Political Science degree and a minor in Business Administration from the University of Tennessee.

After graduation, I worked in various sales and service related jobs – none of which I was terribly passionate about. Along the way I was fortunate to have met some wonderful mentors. And I was even more blessed to have met my future wife, now married over 18 years. As a traveling jewelry salesman, I was robbed of my lively hood in Columbus, GA. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. My wife and I wanted to start a family and we were financially secure enough to start a small business and I helped raise my daughter.

Over 14 years later my business is sound and my daughter is involved in after school activities. The mysterious blessings of fate have presented another opportunity for me to serve preserving the liberty and freedom that our men and women in uniform have always fought to defend
