I was born and raised in southeastern Kentucky, and lived my entire life in Kentucky where I’ve graduated from Centre College and the University of Louisville with degrees in Math, Physics, and Electrical Engineering. In addition to my love of the Lexington area and people, an internship with Lexmark International, Inc in 1996 led me to an ongoing career with Lexmark (which recently became a subsidiary of Xerox) for over 29 years where I am currently a Senior Manager in the Embedded Systems R&D division. This career, and this company, which itself is a proud supporter of local philanthropies, and most importantly my loving wife Lisa who has spent the last dozen years serving the senior population in Kentucky, has afforded me many blessed opportunities to volunteer with and serve the senior community as well. Outside of work and volunteering, I love to travel the world with my wife, visiting family and friends, trying new foods, seeing new places, and meeting new people. I lovingly call Lexington and Kentucky home and am honored to be a part of helping the Friends of the Lexington Senior Center make this area feel even more like home to the Lexington senior community.
