Hi,
I married Lori Ann on July 20, 1991 and we have one son, Matthew.
We live in Kodak, Tennessee which is between Knoxville and Gatlinburg in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains.
I am a doing some contract work for Scripps Networks and attending Walters State Community College in an effort to get my Bachelors Degree in Computer Science. My hobbies include amateur radio, motorcycle riding, 4x4 driving and martial arts (currently, Isshin-Ryu Karate).
Lori works part-time at a store in Pigeon Forge, Outback Leather. She spends a lot of her time selling new and used clothing on e-bay.
Matthew loves Video Games, Legos, Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh. He is attending Walters State Community college.
I'm playing with some new technologies; I have a blog, I'm on Linked-In and you can follow me on twitter.
I hope you enjoy our site!
My History
My parents are H. Tyson Jr. and Lucy B. (Hill) McKeehan. My grandparents are William Edmond and Stella "Doll" Blanch (Johnson) Hill and Herbert Tyson Sr. "PeeWee" and Violet (Jenkins) McKeehan.
I was born and raised in Maryville, Tennessee with my two brothers, Mickey and Wesley. I was the middle child.
I went to Lanier Elementary school and graduated from William Blount High School in 1989. From there, I went on to the University of Tennessee and worked toward a degree in Computer Science.
Forsaking academics, I took a job as a Word-processing Specialist in the Mathematics department at UT. This is where I met my wife, Lori. I stayed at UT for about a year when I was offered a job at Intellection (now i2 Technologies) as a Systems Administrator. This required a move to Dallas, TX.
We stayed in Dallas for a couple of years before deciding that the big city life was not for us. Home sick, we returned to East Tennessee in the Summer of 1995.
I continued to work for i2 Technologies until I was offered a position in IBM Global Services in 1996. I worked for IBM for over 11 years on a variety of projects and teams with a technology focus on Lotus Notes. I was laid off in June 2008. I'm currently doing some contract work with Scripps Networks in Knoxville.
