I grew up in Chattanooga, TN, and married Rosemary Sholl on 8/27/1964. We lived at Chattanooga, TN, Greenville, KY, Decatur, TN, Dothan, AL, Slidell, LA, Dalton, GA, Harrison, TN and Riceville, TN. We have four sons; David, Anthony, Jared, and Jonathan. I operated a real estate brokerage in Dothan, AL, and Harrison, TN. I owned American Publishing, which I established in 1992.
