About me:

I was born in 1957 at Miami, Florida, and was a resident of Florida most of my life. I have retired to the Tennessee mountains in the small town of Powells Crossroads, near Whitwell, Tennessee. I live here with my XYL Laura, two dogs and  three cats, and numerous tropical fish. Laura and I have four children, two are grown with families of their own, and two are in college. We have four grandchildren.
