We are both educators. We worked in Stokes County, North Carolina for 14 years until relocating to Greene County, Pennsylvania. Rick is a principal at Bobtown Elementary School. Christy teaches Special Education to students with moderate to severe disabilities.

We have three beautiful children who keep us extremely busy. Austin is a pharmacist. Clay has a full time job at Pratt & Whitney. Ella attends the University of Alabama. She is on the swim team at Bama!

Rick spends any free time he can find in the woods.

We plan to return to Stuart after we retire.

Why they chose this property

Christy's father and step-mother graciously gave us the land to build on.

What makes this property unique

Our home is perfectly nestled away. Our home is loaded with Rick's hunting trophies. We also use our home to express our love for the Lord.
