Bio: I grew up in Kentucky and have lived at Fort Myers Beach for 20 years. I attended the University of Louisville in Kentucky and Yankton College in South Dakota. I never got a degree, but know lots of uneducated people who did. I work as a carpenter in my off hours. I'm a member of the Beach Little League Board and coach girls softball. I played football and basketball in college, and still play basketball for fun. I have a beautiful wife and four wonderful kids.
