Well, I grew up in El Dorado Springs, Missouri just about an hour North of Springfield.  I currently reside in Republic, Missouri with my Wife, Daughter, Son, herd of goats, and multiple dogs.  Our family loves the Republic area my kids were raised here.  My Daughter is in her Senior year at Republic High School and plans to attend MSU this coming fall.  My Son plays sports and is active in competitive E-Gaming.
