Paul's Story

Thirty years is a mighty long time! I can't believe it's been so long ago that I was on "The Hill"! I still look back on those years as some of the best of my life. After graduation, I spent four years in the Navy, came home and graduated from ETSU in 1984. In 1984 I also got married. For 24 years I've been in love with the same woman, and I sure hope my wife doesn't find out! Just kidding, I met Linda in college and we've been happily married all this time. We have 3 lovely kids, daughter Rylee and sons Otha and Rob. Two in college and one in high school which further reinforces the fact that I am OLD. They are great and so very funny. I worked my way through college at local radio stations WKPT, then WJSO which later became WUSJ. Working as a radio announcer was high on my wish list and I dearly loved it, but it didn't pay the bills so well, so I found a real job. I sold commercial cleaners/detergents, then newspaper ads, back to radio then I went to Paty Lumber where I worked until...Expand for more
1999 when Builders FirstSource acquired us, and I stayed with BFS until June 2008. Then the economy tanked and the housing market went kaput and I was part of a dreaded head-count reduction (laid off). I am now employeed by ProBuild Holdings as an ERP Deployment Specialist, which, simply stated, will allow me to travel all over the country for the next three years teaching employees how to use a new software package. It is exciting work and gives me the opportunity to see more of this glorious land we call home. God has provided me with good work for a decent wage and I get to come home to my family! I'm active at my church where I sing in the choir and do solos and sing in a men's gospel quartet and with the gospel singers. I played church league softball until about 4 years ago. I play golf, fish (not very well) and have recently taken up disc golf which is tons 'o fun. If you know where Rick Gray is, please let me know, I haven't seen him since 1976. I'd like to see him again.
