Getting to Know John – Q&As With John Colvin
- Why Winchester, Tennessee? Prior to becoming a licensed attorney, I worked and traveled as a construction laborer for a contractor and got to see first-hand the mountains, rivers, and lakes of the scenic Tennessee Valley and realized that one day I wanted to raise a family and live in the region.
- Any lawyers in the family? My earliest memories were going to my father’s law office after school and trying to bring home pens and legal pads. I grew up around the legal profession and in a family of lawyers with my father, brother, uncle, and cousins having attended law school. My father is a retired Alabama State Court Judge.
- How did you meet your wife? I met my wife over 15 years ago on a blind date on April Fools’ Day. Despite our first date, she ultimately agreed to marry me and we now have two children.
- Do you play any musical instrument? I enjoy a wide variety of music but do not play any musical instrument. However, I hosted and programmed a weekly folk and bluegrass radio show for 2 years in Auburn, AL
- Favorite Author? Wendell Berry of Henry County, KY
- Favorite Sport? I live for College Football and football Saturdays in the fall.
- Favorite Meal? I always enjoy a fresh off the grill down-home greasy cheeseburger (not “fast food”)
- Favorite Dessert? You can never go wrong with homemade apple pie
- Favorite Activity? A perfect day is spending time outdoors with my family
- What do you like most about being a lawyer? There is no higher reward than knowing that the efforts of your law office have truly helped the well-being of individuals and families in need of legal assistance.
