I came to western NC to be a raft guide for N.O.C. and felt a deep connection to the area. This county is very rural/agricultural and that makes me
feel more at home than I ever have since I left the farm I grew up on. I feel a deep kinship to these salt of the earth type folks and hope that I can
grow old and, eventually, die right here in Madison county. (I'm in no hurry BTW)
I have worked here (no longer a raft guide, fun life, but no money in it) in jobs that have allowed me the chance to meet a large portion of the
populace and, all in all, there are a great bunch of folks around here. The beauty of the area is like the icing on the cake. The outdoor sports scene
here is terrific, with plenty of opportunities for whitewater boating, hiking, fishing, hunting, camping and more. The eclectic mix brought by the
different elements in our local society help to keep one from getting bored with the same old same old, too.
Since 1998 I've really let some roots sink in, got married, bought the house, started a family, opened my own business and continue to try and add
value and quality to my adopted home.
Yup, it's a heck of a life and this is a heck of a place.
