6-2006 Trish and I will be celebrating our 38th wedding anniversary on August 9th of this year. It has been quite a ride. We have two boys, one living in Lexington, Ky and one lives in Knoxville. We have a beautiful granddaughter and another due in June. We lived in Johnson City until I graduated from ETSU then spent four years in the Army, Most in Kentucky. After leaving the military, we decided to stay in Kentucky and raise our family. We lived there for 23 years and finally moved back to East Tennessee in 1995. I have spent my working life as a social worker. In Kentucky, I directed a treatment center for emotionally disturbed children and in Knoxville I direct several programs for both children and seniors. Trish and I were foster parents for eight years in Kentucky. In my private life, I have tried to be a devoted husband and father. Trish keeps me constantly entertained and surprised we enjoy boating and doing short trips on my motor scooter. I plan to finish working eventually and spend many days enjoying my two grand daughters.
