First and foremost, I am married to Lori Mackey, who was born in Sumter County, Alabama and graduated with an education degree from Auburn University. She is a successful reading coach at Sunshine Elementary School which is located just south of Greensboro, Alabama.
I am the proud and happy father of a fourteen year old daughter and eight-grader at Demopolis Middle School name Sally. Sally is an exceptional performer and entertainer and enjoys singing, dancing, puppies, tennis and riding horses. She is my true joy in life, next to my wife.
I was born and raised in Demopolis, AL were I first developed my love for land as a young boy by working cattle, fixing fences, and bailing hay on my grandparents farm in Uniontown, a small town twenty miles east of Demopolis. There I learned the value of hard work, the impact of keeping your word, and the importance of building strong relationships with people in the community.
I worked my way through school as a veterinarian assistant, shoeing horses at Auburn University, were I studied Animal and Dairy Science. On my summers off, I worked as a wrangler in Jackson Hole, Wyoming at the R Lazy S Ranch taking tourists on overnight horse-packed camping trips. The Teton Mountains views of Jackson Hole and vast landscapes of Yellowstone National Park only further instilled a love for the land and the outdoors I still embrace today.
After graduating from Auburn, I moved back to Uniontown to begin my career as a cattleman and catfish farmer. Farming was very difficult in the early 80''''s with interest rates hovering around 20%, and in 1984 I began my career in real estate selling land and while also venturing into the restaurant business. I opened a restaurant in Faunsdale, Alabama known as the Faunsdale Bar and Grill and helped start the Alabama Crawfish Festival.
I am a former Perry County Cattleman''''s Association President, I serve on the vestry for both St. Michael''''s and Church of the Holy Cross Episcopal churches in Faunsdale and Uniontown, I am on the Board of Directors for the Point Clear Polo Club and have been a member for over 20 years, a Demopolis Rotarian, a Vice Chairman of the Hale County Economic Development Board, and a pilot since 1984.
In addition to land brokerage, I also specialized in land appraisals and hold a Certified General Appraisal License along with the Accredited Land Consultant (ALC) and Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designations. I have been the market leader in land transactions for over a decade in the Black Belt Region and continue to offer first-rate products and services to all my clients.
