I am an East Tupelo boy, so proud to see a native son not only succeed but rise to stardom and attain worldwide fame, The King of Rock-n-Roll. I am fascinated and thrilled to be a hometown fan, but business opportunities led me to manufacturing. Then came the opportunity to retire and take my dream job as Executive Director of the Elvis Presley Birthplace. I rise every morning excited to meet the fans, talk about Elvis, and join our wonderful staff in making a visit to the Birthplace the experience of a lifetime.
