Bio
I arrived in Augusta with my family in August of 1999. My early life was spent in several locations in North Carolina and Virginia, however, I have been in Georgia since 1983. In 2018 I moved to Hart County in northeast Georgia. Baseball and basketball were my favorite sports early on. Later I gravitated toward tennis and running and currently am into walking, pickleball, golf, swimming and boating. I am a fan of several other sports including soccer.
My other interests are travel, reading, and visiting with my three grandchildren. I have three adult children three grandchildren.
