I grew up in Mountain Home, AR on the banks of Lake Norfork. After college, I spent 22 years in the US Army and retired to Jonesboro, AR. After retiring from the Army, I taught Army Junior ROTC at Harrisburg High School for 10 years. Afterwards I worked as a career counselor for the Arkansas National Guard and then as an HR Director for an IT company. I retired for good in 2020. I got very lucky about 7 years ago and reconnected with my now wife, Melody. Trust me…I married UP. Living in Jonesboro was tough due to there being no decent fishing locations for at least an hour in any direction. Luckily, my mother-in-law lives in Fairfield Bay. After several visits to the area and spending time on Greer’s Ferry Lake, Melody and I decided to move here to Fairfield Bay in March 2023.
