I am a 7th generation Tennessean raised in Nashville. My parents are cousins, who met for the first time when they were mere children. That makes my siblings my cousins as well. Welcome to the South! I moved to this country setting in Williamson County in December of 1990. The cabin had no indoor plumbing, no insulation in the walls, and a "used to the max" outhouse. So I dug a deep hole and made a new one. Yes, in the dead of winter, it is a race to and from, but I would change nothing for the first couple of years spent here. If nothing else, I makes one appreciate so many things that are otherwise taken for granted in our First World Nation!

I spend most of my time out doors in the landscape and gardening industry. Reading is one of my greatest pastimes (English major in college, History minor). I grow vegetables on the property, organically, of course! Sustainability issues specifically and environmental stewardship in general are passions of mine, which I am always happy to share with any guest that is interested.
