I was born and raised in Louisville, KY. I attended Shelby County schools my entire K-12 experience. Some of my favorite vacations were spent in England and surrounding countries in '86, '87, to China in '88, and back to England again in '92. During the years I worked for neighboring farms and saved all my money for the stock market.

Once I graduated from high school I attended Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, KY. I met my wife at WKU before I even signed up for classes. She is five years older than I am so I had to work extra hard to convince her she was going to marry me. I moved back to Louisville, KY and have bought a 3 bedroom, 3 bath home with enough room to display my Star Wars collection around the whole house.
