After completion of high school I attended Jacksonville State University where I graduated with a degree in Technology in 1989. I then moved to Huntsville where I was employed as a Systems Engineer from 1989-1999. I meet my wife in 1993 and we married the following year. In 1999 we relocated to South Carolina and now have four wonderful children. I now work in State Government as a GIS Analyst specializing in Bio-Terrorism and Health Services.
