I am married and have three grown boys, a daughter-in-law, and one granddaughter. I serve in the Tennessee Air Force National Guard which I intend to retire from.  Becoming an attorney was a second career choice for me, I spent many years as a law enforcement officer which sparked my desire to practice family law.  I absolutely love turtles and elephants and I hope to sponsor an elephant one day.  I love to read; my favorite author is John Steinbeck. My husband and I enjoy motorcycle riding; for long rides, I ride with him and for short rides, I like to take my own bike. I have a passion for helping people, something anyone that knows me would agree with.  I look forward to building my career in Sevier County working with families to address the various legal needs that they have.
