I have always enjoyed the club. I think I have been a Member around 15 years or so. I have been a collector/dealer since the late 80’s. I have been on ebay as of June will be 21 years. I have been with my Wife, Teresa nearly 36 years. I have one Son, Dustin, his Wife Charolette, and 5 Grandchildren.
I lost my Father and best Friend April 27th 2020. My Mom is doing as good as can be after 61 years of marriage. It’s tough as most, or at least some of you know.
My Father-in-Law got me started collecting by giving me a 1976 Proof set. I collected proof sets back to 1950, wish I had tried to finish when they were cheaper! I have pretty much always been “Blue Collar”. I was a meat cutter for 25 plus years. Went to school for training. started as an apprentice and worked all the way to Manager. I also have been a truck driver, and worked in the HVAC industry. On the side, and full time, My Wife and I have operated three different successful businesses. After all I went through in 2019 I am still in a “Comeback” stage. I promise you learn to appreciate things more when life humbles you.
I am still a collector and dealer. Coca Cola silver being my specialty, but older art bars too. And some of the new pieces coming out are awesome! I am Baptist, saved by grace. I was the sound man at our Church several years. My Father was the Song leader, and Mom played the piano there for 39 years.
I have helped with countless fund raising events, from St. Jude’s, to Scottish Rite Children’s Hospitals, to local Church’s and Charitable events. Usually as MC, or serving in the food line, to cooking whatever. I will do whatever needs done.
I enjoy helping people. I live my life by the “Golden Rule”. I go to bed every night with a clear conscience. I don’t like conflict or friction. I believe in working through problems. Life is too short. Strength is in Unity, not Division. I will always listen to ideas, and will never be afraid to try a different option or suggestion if it has good potential.
I feel like I am good at organizing events, and having the vision to see potential problems before they happen. I am a 32nd degree Master Mason, Scottish Rite Valley Of Atlanta, I have been Knighted in St. John’s Commandry. I have served as WM Six times.
I am currently serving as 7th District WM over 66 Lodges and nearly Six thousand Mason’s in Georgia. I have served as High Priest Four times, and served as District High Priest.
Teresa and I served on the Grand Master’s Entertainment Committee for two different Grand Masters. Setting up everything from the Grand Master’s Ball, to taking out the trash.
I have served IASAC as a Member, Trustee, and VP.
