About Me:

I am a lifetime resident of South Knoxville where I attended Mt. Olive elementary and graduated from Doyle in 1974. I married Brenda Conlin (1977 graduate) in December of that year. God put us together and has directed our paths since that time. I am a nurse @ UT Hospital and Brenda is a teacher in the TAG program for Knox County Schools. We have been blessed with 2 children. Stacie attended Bonny Kate elementary and graduated from South Doyle in 1999. She attended Pellissippi State and Tennessee Wesleyan where she recieved her Nursing degree. Our son, Chris, is a sophomore @ South Doyle. My wife and I will sometime disagree about education and I respect her views. With this said I want everyone to know that my views may or may not be hers, but we are a team of concerned and caring parents. We care about our community and the people that make it what it is.
