I attended U of Montevallo for my Bachelor's & UAB for my Master's.  Taught 11 yrs. with Jeff. Co. Board of Ed. w/ most being @ Cahaba Heights Community School.  Changed career in 1984 as a Pharmaceutical Sales Representative & later as a Corporate Accounts' Manager.   I enjoyed 26 years with my company & had the privilege of calling on several of our physician classmates..  Most exciting adventures since Berry:  backpacked through Europe & South America, traveled & scuba dived many countries, served the Lord as summer missionary in Germany & recently inducted to serve on the board of Wales Goebel's Ministry.  

I wasn't much of a student in high school but after I found my passion, I loved learning and just kept going to school. I've been a pediatric Physical Therapist for 35 years (mostly with babies and toddlers) and have been doing research in this field for the past 10 years after completing my PhD in Developmental Psychology. I live on a farm in Shelby county, have over 50 animals and consider myself a "Born Again Redneck". When I'm not riding horses, I am playing tennis or the violin. I have been blessed.

After graduation, I set sails for The University of Alabama, pledged Sigma Nu and loved college life. Patti (Porter, from Shades Valley) and I met on a blind date, married in 1974 and had 3 wonderful boys. Wes, our eldest, graduated from Auburn and Patrick, who graduated from Alabama are both working and living in Birmingham. We lost our third child, Jamie while he was attending Alabama…..But not to worry. We know where he is and will be with him again in God’s time…. Patti and I own and run Architectural Finishes, a business which provides window coverings for residential and business use. When I’m not working, I try to get in an occasional game of golf, and have a beer with friends while keeping God and church close to heart.
