I have lived almost all of my 39 years in Monroe County, Tennessee, a rural area nestled in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains.  I married Debbie, my high-school sweetheart, in 1991 and we have three rowdy boys, Josiah (13), Josh (9), and Jamey (6).  I teach third and fourth grade boys in an Awana class at church and coach Upward basketball.  I graduated valedictorian from Madisonville High School and Summa Cum Laude from Tennessee Technological University with a BS in Civil Engineering.  All that education led me to my career for the last 17 years as a structural engineer.  At the age of 28, I helped to start Cornerstone Engineering in 1999 and have specialized in the design of the support frames for sports video displays. I am a licensed P.E.(Professional Engineer) in 48 states.  I am not big on hobbies, but I do enjoy running, playing basketball, and the occasional foray into writing, which I hope (Lord willing) to develop into more than just a hobby.
