I was born in Asheville, NC and have called it home for most of my life. My parents, Clyde and Nell Boggs, and my uncle John and aunt Marie Smith were always faithful in taking me to church and campmeetings. I was saved at the age of 14 in a Church of God in West Asheville.

Some of my fondest memories while growing up was my dad taking me to baseball games at McCormick Field and eating at Kress and Woolworth soda fountains. Other childhood activities included playing basketball and collecting baseball cards. My last 2 years at Erwin High School gave me the opportunity to earn some money by driving a school bus.

After graduation from high school, I started classes at UNCA. This effort was interrupted by a call to active duty in the US Army. I found myself on a plane headed for Vietnam after 4 months training at Fort Bragg, NC and Fort Still, Ok. I praise the Lord for His protection during the war.

Getting married, furthering my education and earning a living were on my mind after the Army duty. I majored in business and accounting and graduated from Appalachian State University. My previous work history includes work with a CPA firm for 10 years.

I've been married for 34 years to my wife, Brenda. Now vacations are usually spent visiting our son, Jason and his family in Florida.

My wife and I are members of Gospel Baptist Church. I appreciate the emphasis there that is placed on missions and their support of this station. I feel the Lord is using my talent and past experience here for IBOM.
