camping,kayaking, kids grow one in Marines and one fire fighter
I have 7 kids and we do a lot as a family one is out of the house and a Marine and one is on his way out as a fire fighter.
I started in the High Point Branch with Felix King in 2006 and also drove to Charlotte to help Jeff Poole while working for Nick Hatley. We are moving back to be closer to have help with the kids and my wife due to almost losing her twice in the past two years.
