After 28 years of service with AT&T as a system engineer, 1 year as a Senior Technical Consultant with McKessonHBOC, and 12 years as a Lead Security Engineer with "The Home Depot", I have began my retirement.

I am a native of Atlanta, like my father (42 years of service with Southern Bell), I was born, raised, and lived my entire life in the Atlanta area. However, all of my time is now being spent in our cabin in the North Georgia mountains where we have moved. I have been married to my wife, Joy, for over 56 years and we have three daughters, Hope, Misty, and Cheri. I also have NINE grandchildren, Scott, Summer, Sean, Seth, Gavin, Kaylee, Brayden, Logan and Emersyn. My hobbies are photography, square dancing, western two step, wood carving, computers, amateur radio (W4SLZ), deer hunting, fishing, and sports, however, most of my time lately is spent chasing my grandkids.
