I am God's beloved son. My family and I live in beautiful East Tennessee within view of the Smoky Mountains. "My people" come from Eastern Kentucky Appalachian Mountain stock made up of Irish, Scot, and English heritage. We're mutts, and as any dog owner will tell you, nothing is more loyal and loving than a mutt . I am the generational result of praying grandmothers and hardworking grandfathers. My parents raised me in Dayton, Ohio but their hearts always belonged to their Old Kentucky Home.
