West Cobb, I'm Honored to Share Your Stories!

I moved to Marietta from New Orleans in 1987 and attended Marietta High School and Georgia Southern University before graduating from Kennesaw State University. I was employed in the media world for 20 years and owned a restaurant for four years.

One interesting fact about me is I’m a solar child, born June 21, 1970, which happened to be Father’s Day. I was my dad’s present that year.

I love the West Cobb community and all the places there are to explore. One of my favorite pastimes is hiking the trails in Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. I also love hanging out in the downtown areas of Marietta, Kennesaw and Acworth and enjoying the unique character of these Cobb County gems. Each offers a variety of great shops and restaurants. 

Speaking of restaurants, one thing you definitely need to know about me is I’m a foodie. As a former restaurateur, I love good food and wine, especially cabernet sauvignon, my favorite. 

I also enjoy vacations to the mountains and beach and playing golf and tennis.
