I spend many hours working on my career, but I also enjoy spending time at home with my family and friends. I am married to my high school sweetheart; Mitchell Privette and we've been married over 29 years. We have one daughter, Hannah, who also married her high school sweetheart, Matt Nicholson. I talked about a lifetime of knowledge of the area, that's because I was born and raised right here in Statesville and have continued to live here and raise my family here. I enjoy photography, canoeing, camping with my family, baking, cake decorating and traveling. I especially love cruising, whether it be to Alaska or the Caribbean, no one has to ask me twice to go on a cruise. I attend St. Mark Baptist Church, where I have held many positions and have enjoyed each one.
