physics from Covenant College, in Dade County, Georgia. After graduation, I was employed

by Horizon Electronics where I have continued to sell industrial electronics for the past 40

years.

I met my wife, Linda, also a graduate of Covenant College. We have been married for over

40 years and have two sons, Matt who now lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Ethan who

lives in Durango, Colorado. We travel there often to visit our sons and four grandsons.

During my career as a salesman for Horizon, I was elected to the Dade County Board of

Commissioners for four years and served as Chairman for a year. I also served as Chairman

of the Dade County GOP for several years.

I am a member of Lookout Mountain Presbyterian Church and have previously served as

both a deacon and an elder. Teaching children on Wednesday evening Kids' Club and

serving in the Cub Scouts have been avenues for serving youth in the community.

It was an honor to serve in the U. S. Navy Reserve for over 20 years. Now I am

looking forward to serving the residents of Northwest Georgia, District One, in the State

House.
