Tennessee native, born and raised in West Tennessee, followed by college, law school and 6 years of lawyering in East Tennessee, and have been in Middle Tennessee since 1985.

I am a lawyer with a national title insurance company in its Nashville office. I am a husband of the same wonderful wife since 1976. I have a 23 year old son in the army, a 5 year old daughter, and a two year old grandson.

I am actively interested in history, and in flags. I have written four books, three on flags and one a little book of quotes from Robert E. Lee. I have written a long list of titles for various publications, mostly on law and history, but a few pieces of political commentary as well.

And I am by genetic predisposition a Rebel. Ancestors I can claim have rebelled against a the likes of King Edward I, King Charles I, Oliver Cromwell, King George III, and Abraham Lincoln. I am and have always been in a constant state of rebellion against the federal government, and from time to time, against leaders of my State, county, and political party. Despite all of that rebellion, I am told that I am a very pleasant person with a genial personalty and a pleasing disposition.
