First let me say a few words about myself.
I am Cherokee-Catawba and white lineage. My grandfather came from the Cherokee
reservation, at Cherokee N.C. I was born off reservation at Jacksonville Fl.
That is where i grew up and spent most of my younger years.
I served in the US Army Signal Corps. from 1960 to 1966 when i was Honorably
discharged with the permanent rank of SG E-5.
My father is a Catawba Medicine Man who is now in his 90's and going strong.
I have tried to follow my heritage, and follow our peoples ways, while
sharing these things with all as i walk the good red road of life.
Among my people and friends i am known as a teacher, medicine person and craftsman.
I have also Co-Starred in a role with Hulk Hogan in his TV series,
Thunder In Paradise.
My wife is also of Cherokee-White lineage. She was born and raised in southern Ill.
We now have built and live in our final home near our Ancestors here
in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. We are located on the Tennessee
side about 40 miles from the Cherokee Reservation at
Cherokee N.C.

My wife Dove and I, both make and sell all types of Native American
Crafts and Clothing.
We both love to help and teach others as we love people in general and to share
our ways. we also love the great outdoors and all of nature.
I own and operate a small Welding Shop here in Cosby Tn. while Dove works as a
medical records coder for Baptist Hospital in Newport Tn.
We are in our mid 50's and use Herbs for our health care.
