I was born in Michigan but lived overseas until I was 13. At that point I moved to Paducah KY and then to Nashville in 1985. I graduated from business college and have worked in accounting for most of my career. I have two children, five grandchildren and one great-grandbaby. I retired from full time work in 2021 and now work two days a week from home. I have been a Presbyterian for most of my life and joined DPC in 2001.
