Here’s the short version: Born in Kentucky. Lived in South Carolina until I was 15. Moved to middle Tennessee - been here ever since! My daughter, Chera is married to Craig. And my son, Zach - just turned 19! I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 25 years. Been doing this comedy thing for about 15 years or so - I started down this road because of "Cousin Minnie Pearl." I gotta a bunch of gold videos, one Platinum DVD, written a bunch of books, got a bus and I tour the country. Hummm... think I’ll keep going and see where this whole thing leads me!
