Biography
I have always enjoyed it. In fact, in college, I never declared a major. Instead, in my senior year the executive aid in the math department told me one day that she had listed me as a math major because I had already taken all the math classes they offered. That is how I came to "major in math."
My wife and I own a horse farm and several horses in Jonesborough.
