Welcome to our page!

Jack was born and raised in Binghamton, NY and grew up on those city streets.  Ann Marie was born and raised on a dairy farm between Fort Plain and St. Johnsville, NY.  Sometimes opposites do attract, and they found each other through the social life at the junior college they attended. 

Jack not only fell in love with this amazing Christian country girl, he also discovered the country and the pastoral life that is the farm, away from the noisy and frenetic city life.  Ann not only fell in love with this Christian city boy, she found her ticket off of the farm as she dreamt of a life that was forever free of 4:30AM milkings, throwing hay bales, and shoveling that smelly greenish-brown stuff.   Their most recent move to Hayesville, NC follows a sequence of life and ministry experiences that caused them to call a variety of places home:  Washington DC, Trippstadt Germany, Fort Plain NY, Stillwater OK, Memphis TN, Clinton NY, Concord NC, Castalia NC, and now Hayesville, a small city nestled between the Nantahala and Chattahoochee National Forests in the midst of the Blue Ridge Mountains, close to the borders of Georgia and Tennessee.  The only Holsteins that have been a part of this family is that herd you will find grazing in their home as stuffed animals and knick-knacks.

Jack and Ann have two adult children, Jennifer and Andy. 

Jennifer is a graduate of Appalachian State University, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and The University of the Cumberlands, and is married to Brian Bohannon, who recently completed his PhD at Southern Baptist Seminary, Louisville.  They are the parents of William David Bohannon (2004) and Nicholas James Bohannon (2011).  Jennifer is a pre-school teacher with Jefferson County Schools, and Brian continues to work at Chick-Fil-A as he seeks his next career path. They currently live in Louisville, KY.

Andy is a graduate of Western Carolina University, is married to Eden Hunter Carter, and owns and operates a steel fabrication shop in Hayesville NC (www.ironman4x4fab.com) where he and his employees/friends make heavy-duty steel suspension components for Jeeps.  They are the parents of Noah Jackson Carter (2008), Norah Caroline Carter (2011).  and Nash Benjamin Carter (2005).  They currently live in Hayesville, NC where they recently purchased their first house.

Ann is a registered nurse with both a Bachelor's degree in nursing and a Master's degree in Biblical Counseling, using both in several part-time employments including oncology, pediatrics, and most recently Hospice and home-health care.  She is now retired but keeps her license so that she can work as an RN in her many missionary endeavors.  For the last seven years AnnMarie has been heading up a team of medical professionals that make annual trips to the Good Shepherd Center in Quetaltenango (Xela) Guatemela where they bring medical clinics to the remote mountain villages. 

Prior to coming to Hayesville, Jack spent four years in the United States Air Force, six years in college, 27 years as a full-time university professor (computer and electrical engineering technology) and bi-vocational minister/associate pastor with duties in music, education, and pastoral ministries, and four years as pastor of a Southern Baptist church.  Though his Associate's, Bachelor's, and Master's degrees are in engineering fields, Jack has a Ph.D. in Biblical Theology.  Check out his academic website at www.biblicaltheology.com. Jack also publishes The Journal of Biblical Theology, and works continually on The Disciple's Bible Commentary, an extensive commentary on the whole Bible for Bible teachers and students.   Jack is currently working part-time as an Engineering consultant for Advanced Digital Cable, Inc.

This seems to be an academic family... between Jack (4), AnnMarie (4), Jennifer (3), Brian (4), Andy (1), and Eden (2), this family has 18 college degrees.  How would you like that tuition bill?

Most recently, Jack and AnnMarie bought a second home in St. Johnsville, NY, enabling them to make frequent and extended visits with her family.  Their favorite pastime together is to play golf at Chatuge Shores Golf Course in Hayesville, and Mohawk Valley Country Club in Little Falls NY, where they walk the course and carry their clubs.  This puts the young folks to shame, for sure, and provides wonderful aerobic exercise.

And, yes, they do dabble in Social Media.  Both Jack and AnnMarie have Facebook pages.
