Personal Interests

• Born to be a square on 9-16-64, I married prime on 7-18-87 (71887 is prime). My wife Martha still homeschools our youngest daughter, Tiffany. Our daughter, Patricia, is a Union student, while our son Matthew is a Union graduate and is now a graduate student at LSU. All of my family are believers, and we worship with other families in a house church. I enjoy spending time with family, playing golf, pitching muleshoes, reading World magazine, and thinking about conservative theology and creation science. I am also the creator of a baseball board game called Doc Dawson’s Full Season Baseball.
