I reside in Gainesville, GA. I am native to the Atlanta area and a graduate of LaGrange College, LaGrange, GA.

Favorite Quote: ” Persistence……Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men and women with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent!” --- Calvin Coolidge

My interests, other than paying for college tuition, are grandchildren, golf, travel, sport cars and playing Sodoku.

I am married to a wonderful lady- Wendy Baker! My wife teaches piano and cello in our home and is a cellist with the Gainesville Symphony Orchestra.  I am also the proud father of 5 children and 2 beautiful granddaughters: Madison and Gracen.   My children are Courtney Williams:  Kindergarten Teacher, Seneca, SC; Colin Baker: Construction Manager with Holder Construction, Atlanta, GA; Brett Baker: Student at U.S.C., Columbia, SC.; Laura Ammons : Full- time mother and 2nd Grade Teacher, Greenville, SC. and Kevin Bratton: Financial Specialist, Wachovia Bank Greenville, SC.

The thing I enjoy most about working at Sunbelt is earning the trust and loyalty of so many great customers over the past 6 years.  With many years of experience in purchasing and sales, I have never worked for a company that is as customer- service driven as Sunbelt Office Products!
