He and his wife live in western North Carolina.

They have owned four RVs over the past 50 years. Their first RV experience was a 1970s pop-up camper trailer (pulled by a Chevrolet Vega wagon). They replaced the trailer with a Volkswagen pop-up Westfalia (which also served as a second family vehicle). After almost a 30-year period without an RV, they purchased an Airstream Interstate Class B motorhome, attended their first rally event, quickly became enamored with the RV motorhome lifestyle, and now own a Leisure Travel Class C Unity. They enjoy touring and try to include grandchildren as much as possible.
