About the Author

I was born in New Albany, Mississippi on April 6, 1956. I spent the first ten years of my life in Meridian, Mississippi. We lived a short period of time in Nashville, then moved to Memphis, eventually back to the Nashville area, then to Gatlinburg, Lompoc and Ventura, California and now reside outside of Chattanooga, Tennessee with my wife Dale. I have been involved with hang gliding since 1975 and have worked with birds since 1977. If you want to learn more about me, check out my book...it's an autobiography.
