From Batesville, Arkansas, moved to Little Rock for a short period time after high school and finally relocated & settled in Jonesboro, the place that I call HOME with my wife, Emily, and our four kids.
After graduating from Arkansas State University, I entered the working field with a Graphic Design degree that took me from a designer and laborer in the printing industry to a VP of Product Development for a consumer goods company for the past 20 years. During my time as a VP, I spent years traveling overseas to negotiate pricing and manufacturing of products to bring to the retail shelf.
I am an avid sports fan and spend much of my free time supporting local sports. I have spent many years coaching and just being a fan to local youth sports. I love helping kids learn sports and seeing them excited as they excel over time. I grew up being an Arkansas Razorback fan and still support them to this day, but have added a true love for all sports of the Arkansas State (Indians) Red Wolves.
