Heath was raised in a small farming community in Southwest Missouri, the grandson of two Veterans. He settled in Woodsboro, MD several years ago after meeting his spouse who is a Woodsboro native whose family has been in Frederick County for 10 generations. Although Heath is not a Maryland native he instantly fell in love with state and particularly the town of Woodsboro, and currently serves as the Burgess (Mayor) of the town. When his job relocated him to Maryland several years ago, he knew this is where he wanted to reside and one day raise a family. Heath was and is still fascinated by the rich culture and history that the state and in particular Frederick county possess. He wants to help preserve this charm for generations to come while also working to keep Maryland the free state.
