About Me

I was born and raised in Memphis and except for a couple of years in Ft Lauderdale, have lived here all my life.

​

I married my highschool sweetheart who I met when we both worked at a now closed amusement park called Libertyland.

​

We have one son who lives with his wife just a few blocks from us.

​

We are a family of Disney 'nerds' and my wife is a Disney specialized travel agent.

CHASING THAT FEELING

​

When I was in high school, we did a production of Father of the Bride and I played the lead character, George Banks.

 

At my high school we did plays in what is now called a cafetorium – during the school day it was the cafeteria, but the room also had a full stage.  For the ‘regular plays’, not the musicals, the school served dinner, and the regular cafeteria staff came in for those nights to cook and serve the food.

 

The Monday after our weekend performances of Father of the Bride, I went to pay for my lunch in the cafeteria and the lunch lady collecting money looked at me for a second and then got a big smile on her face and started laughing.  She told me I had made her laugh so much in the play and how wonderful I was

  

I’ve never forgotten that moment and how it made me feel.

​

I am still chasing that feeling every day.
