John
I was born & raised in Massachusetts (go Patriots & Red Sox!!) and am happy to call Asheville my home for the past 20 years. Growing up, I played all the sports: baseball, basketball, football, soccer, martial arts, & skied a bit. Being raised in a good size family of 1 brother & 2 sisters, I'm the baby of the family. I also have a big blended family of 5 children. Ty 19, Hannah 16, Lilly 13, Ray 12, & Joshua 4. By my side is my loving & strong woman Anne.
I'm what you would call a workaholic. On top of my FULL time job of being a father, I also work a full time job here at AFG, and I am thankful to be a part of this team. I also own a landscaping company which also keeps me pretty busy. In my free time (which is very little), I enjoy sitting by the pool with the Fam, cooking and grilling out, live music, traveling, & taking a well-deserved nap.
Cindy
I was born and raised in Knoxville, TN. I relocated to Asheville almost 14 years ago and now call Marion my home! I have been a part of the customer service industry for most of my career. I thoroughly enjoy live music which was the reason I moved to Asheville and still keeps me in the area! I also enjoy hiking, camping, roller skating, books, and spending time with my family! I share my life with my partner as well as my 2 dog rescues. When I'm not at work, I am staying busy in my garden, with house renovations, and cooking up new recipes in the kitchen!! Always remembering to do what sets my soul on fire!
Amy
Amy is originally from Massachusetts, but has now lived in NC for over 20 years. She has recently become a new mom to her beautiful daughter, Saylor Rain, and also has an 18 yr old step son that she & her fiance raise full time. At this point in time, she fills her mornings by "Movin Mamas" walking groups with their babies at the park, story time at the local library, Kindermusik classes and activities that help simulate her toddler's mind. When she finds time for herself, she enjoys traveling with her girlfriends, a tall beautiful glass of wine, a sappy Nicholas Spark book and tossing a ball to her 3 dogs.
She loves the emotions involved with LOVE, kindness, nature, being crafty, warm summer days and campfires on a starry night. Her bucket list includes: skydiving, laying in a villa in the Turks of Caicos, driving a convertible mini Cooper around the streets in Italy & retiring before she's too old to enjoy her freedoms.
Things Amy is not good at: Being mean, cooking and driving slowly

Greg is an avid family/community man. Throughout most of the year he is coaching/volunteering at youth league sports events. Greg has three children and a wonderful woman that means the world to him.
He is originally from Central Florida and has lived all over the Tampa/Orlando area (and doesn’t miss it).
Greg has worked in the timeshare industry most of his career and loves to travel.
When not at work; his favorite thing to do is play board games with his family and fetch with his dog. He also loves puzzles and usually has one "in progress" on any given day. Greg loves to laugh and bring happiness to others hoping to leave the world a better place than he found it.
Kinzie
Kinzie grew up overseas from the Phillipines, to Cuba, to Germany.
He has lived in NC since 1998, and has called Asheville his home since 2009. He shares his life with his lovely wife Erin, two beautiful daughters Ella and Sofia, Lola the cat, and we can't forget Buckley the dog.

Jesse
Born and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee, Jesse relocated to the mountains of Western North Carolina in 2018. Before joining the team at AFG, he taught high school history and civics. He enjoys live music (especially Umphrey's McGee, Phish, moe. and STS9), traveling, skateboarding, and trivia.
In the fall, he can often be found watching his beloved Tennessee Volunteers, both on the football field and on the hardwood. He is also (probably) the only (most likely) Toronto Maple Leafs fan in the entire city of Asheville.
A huge nerd, Jesse can be found in his free time reading comic books or really long boring books about politics and history (when he's not outside enjoying all that WNC has to offer!)
Shane
I Grew up in Marietta, GA and have spent 40 years in the GA area with a few great years in Colorado and Florida. I now reside in Hiawassee, GA near Lake Chatuge at the Georgia/North Carolina border, with my wife Erika, who I have been lucky to be married to for 23 years (as of 2023).
My favorite things are spending time with family and friends, hiking and kayaking, throwing the frisbee for my pup, Lexie, and going to see live music. When the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United are in season, you'll catch me watching their games with a tasty beverage. Cheers!
Sean
I grew up in Madison County, Alabama before attending the University of Montevallo. After college, I moved to Boone, NC and then Asheville, NC, where I have resided for 17 years. I am an avid gardener, cook, and hiker.
Live music plays an important part in my life, both as a fan and the part time work I do in event production. I like Alabama football, long trails, good friends and cold beers, preferably in front of a stage. Roll Tide!
