Leo's Space

Born in Wurzberg, Germany April 6th, 1969 to Leonard & Joyce Knight.  My father was in the Army and we moved a lot.  Germany, Hawaii, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee...I went to a different school every year 1st-9th grade.  I have one younger brother by five years.  I attended Central HS in Knoxville, TN and finished at Greeneville HS in Greeneville, TN. I met Debbie at Greeneville HS; we dated through college, her at Clemson and me at UTK. We married December 28th, 1991 in Greeneville, TN. We have four healthy sons. God has truly blessed me with a wonderful life!

I'm an Elder at Sequoyah Hills Presbyterian Church, serving on the Session 2004-2006. I'm a member of the Rotary Club of West Knoxville.  I started a non-profit, Entrepreneurs of Knoxville, to help people with their start-up businesses.

I do a little bit of this, little bit of that; I'm an electrical engineer by trade (UTK 1991) and my day job is my engineering business (DBR Systems) where I provide automation solutions for manufacturing facilities. I also do some real-estate investing where I try to buy a new property once or twice a year; I run this business as Russell-Knight Properties, LLC.  I also have a software company with a buddy in Seattle Bright Software, LLC.  My latest venture is Taking IT Home, a residential tech support company for Sequoyah Hills residents.

I'm always looking for something else...
