Born in Eastman, Georgia in 1964, my family moved to Canton in 1978 when my Dad accepted a job teaching at Cherokee High School. I am married to Stacy Westbrook Yawn, who is a retired teacher. We are residents of Canton, GA.
After graduating from Cherokee High School in 1982, I received a B.A. in accounting from Kennesaw State University in 1987.
My work experience includes, Jr. Accountant, office manager, estimator and Body Shop Manager before opening Yawn’s Books in 2004. We expanded and added Yawn’s Publishing in 2008.
