This is basic information about me. 

Family:

I come from Irish, Dutch and English decent. That blend of heritage normally makes for one stubborn beer drinking loudmouth. I'm just glad I'm the exception to the rule! I was born in Marion, Ohio but my parents moved often. I am the oldest child in the family I have two absolutely wonderful sisters, Janet who lives near Tampa, Fla. and Kristi who lives in Marion, Ohio. I also have two younger brothers, Tom (the smart one) lives in Mt. Gilead, Ohio and Dan (the family baby) lives in Marion, Ohio.   

I moved back to North Carolina in 1999 after living in Ohio for the last nine years. I currently live near Rocky Mount in eastern North Carolina. I have three wonderful daughters Jessica, Amanda and my oldest daughter Brandy who lives lives in Lewisville, Texas with her husband Robert and my granddaughters Celeste (5) and Alisha (8). 

Education:

I graduated from Franklin University in Columbus, Ohio with a B.S. in Business Administration and a B.S. in Human Resource Management. I also completed about one third of my Masters in Business Administration and may return someday to finish it.

Military:

I am a Vietnam Veteran and served in the Marine Corps in the 3rd Division, VMGR-352, MAW based out of El Toro, Calif. 

Motorcycles:

My passion is riding my motorcycle any time I get the chance. See my Motorcycle page for more information.
