About

I’m a West Virginia boy, born and bred, Appalachian until the day I die. We’re a minority, I hear…Appalachians are, that is. I was educated at small, rural county schools. I can read and write, add and subtract with the best of them. I spent my latter teenage days at Marshall University, where I eventually graduated. I hopped around Lexington, Kentucky as an apprentice and then a fully licensed horse trainer for a year before coming home to my mountains. I’ve been here ever since. I direct television in Huntington, pretty good gig. I still train and show horses from my family’s farm. We’ve won championships, but we’re not in to selling horses. We either buy them, or they’re born on the property. They live out their lives there. I’m an animal lover. I take in strays. Been a vegetarian for 24 years. Haven’t missed the flesh one bit.
