My wife, Leann, and I have been married since 2002 and have four children, Elizabeth, Jack, Catherine and William.​  I was born and raised in a small town just outside of Gadsden, Alabama.  After graduating from Auburn University in 1991 with a degree in Ornamental Horticulture, I moved to the Metro Atlanta area and have worked in the horticultural industry ever since.  Leann and I joined Northside Presbyterian Church in 2005 and I was elected as a ruling elder in June of 2011.
