Born and raised in Virginia.  Have been living in Nashville since 1983.  Have 2 kids attending UT in Knoxville.  I currently work for Abtech Systems as a Customer Engineer supporting Unix and MPE/IX mini-mainframe computers.  Prior to that, I worked for Hewlett Packard Co. for 21 years.  I enjoy anything and everything outdoors and I'm sick of Washington's politics and where it's leading this country.  I'm ready for the tea party, Ron Paul style.
