Renee is a proud Rotarian, Master Gardener, and member of the Young Life Board, with a heart for giving back to her community. She and Kelly have three children: Rebekah, married to Hector with a daughter; Helmut, married to Jessie; and Ava Grace, who is studying finance at Georgia Southern University.
