I enjoy most things outdoors, particularly hunting, fishing (fresh and salt), and camping with my family. I serve as an adult volunteer with Boy Scout Troop 1 in Athens. My family enjoys following sports, particularly college football and baseball. We are involved in a number of ways at Athens First United Methodist Church (http://www.athensfirstumc.org/).
