I was born in 1967 in a small town in North Alabama.  I grew up in a large family with six children - five boys, one girl and she was the first born.  I was next to the baby.  My Father and Mother raised me and my siblings with love.  They taught me to be caring, sharing, responsible and most of all - loving.  I am grateful for them.  Sadly in 2002 my Mother had a stroke, five years later she left our family for a better place....someday I will see her there.  My Father still resides in the same, but slightly larger now, town in Alabama. In 1995 I moved to the city and met a woman who changed my life forever.  She is my best friend and wife.  We were married in 1997 and have lived happily ever after.  We have two boys - one is seven and one 18 months.  I have an older son from my first marriage.  He is now married and going to be a father, making me a Grandfather.  I am happy for him, but he's making me old quick! My wife and my three boys are my life.  I thank God for them everyday.  I'm now back in the country, but not in  Alabama....Kentucky where I am living my dream of being an author.
