“After a full career in the U.S. Navy, having lived in both Hawaii and California, Unicoi County has become home. I can hike throughout our mountains or along the Appalachian Trail, participate in outdoor sports, relax in the garden we began on our small farm, or golf with a small group of friends, and only be minutes away from everything that we might need in a growing metro region. We are home and happy to be here in the green, cool Appalachian Mountains.”
