Had a pretty intertaining life thus far I reckon. Traveled all over the U.S. with my work over the years. Only states I haven't seen yet is Alaska, Hawaii, and Maine so I reckon I've came along way from Locust over the years. Lived in Atlanta for the last 5 years till about a month ago when I decided to move back and try to settle down in Pryor with Karen. I still might be travelin workin on towers but Pryor is gonna be home from now on. (I hope) Just have to wait and see I reckon.
Have been married 2 and a half times. My first marriage was with Tammy Estep and my second was with Mary Tramel. Have been deevorced now for between 10 and 15 years. Have 3 fantastic kids and 5 beautiful grandbabies. And for that I thank my ex-wives.
Have been pretty much of a rambler over the years I reckon. Settled down for a few years and did the "family thang" till the kids grew up. After they got out on their own I left Locust. Took off and ended up in Tennessee for a while which led me to my half marriage. Came back for a year then took off and ended up outside Atlanta where I started climbing cellphone towers for a living.
I've never been what you might call normal or fit into a certain mold of what people think I should be. I guess that's why I love my job so much. Every job is a challenge. Just the climb is getting to be more of a challenge each time. But let me tell ya.....I've drank more and done more drugs over the years than any one person should be allowed. Nothing compares the the feeling and the rush you get when you're hangin upside down or off the side of a tower at 300 or so feet. To me it is total freedom. Truthfully now......who in their right mind is gonna climb up there and jack with ya and tell ya what to do. It is TOTAL FREEDOM. The only thing that comes remotely close is when I'm ridin my bike.

What have you always wanted to do that you haven't done yet?

Ride my motorcycle to California and along the west coast
Scratch my initials at the top of the Statue Of Liberty
Found Elvis

What's the farthest you've been from home?

Canada

How old do you feel most of the time? Not how old you feel when you roll out of the bed first thing in the morning or when you collapse into it at night.
