Reese lives in Green Cove Springs, Florida, with his wife, Linda.  He is President and Owner of South Shangri-La Publishing.  In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with grandchildren, fishing, and riding his Harley-Davidison motorcycle.

Owning his own plumbing business helped him raise his four children, but once they started their own lives, he could not get the roaring of Nascar out of his mind.  He knew he had to do something that involved Nascar.  Like so many fans today, it was an addiction at that time for him, so he followed his dream.  It took him many places and allowed him to make new friends, some of which are very near and dear to him today.
