About  Us

  Here is a short bio about Anne and me, and our journey here to paradise. Anne was born and raised in Florence, SC. I was born in Columbia, SC. We are both avid Atlanta Braves fans, but when it comes to college teams, she is a Gamecocks fan, while I bleed Clemson orange. Anne moved to Charlotte, NC after Erskine College, and I came back to Charlotte after Auburn University. My family moved to Charlotte when I was 4 years old. We met at a party in Columbia through a mutual friend that also went to Erskine. Anne moved to Charlotte after college, and we were married 9 months later in1980 in Florence. We made our home in Charlotte until 2018 when we moved to our dream home here in Oak Island. We have two sons, James 41 and John 39. Both are married, and James has 4 Children. Both of our sons played numerous sports, and we loved being a part of that.

  Anne has worked as a teacher and administrator in the special ed field of education for 33 years. She completed her postgraduate work at UNCC. I have mostly been self-employed in the sporting goods industry. Again, I cannot emphasize enough how great it has been living here in “Paradise” with so many great people who have the same love of this area. Thanks to all our wonderful Friends.
We Love all of you.
