John Maher Interviewed for Your Williamson Magazine
A Southern Gentleman
We all know how blessed we are to live in this amazing community. There are so many wonderful things that make it special.
What do you love most about Williamson County?
The people. It has been a very welcoming community to me. It is a great place to raise a family, and start and run a business; plus, with four children, the school system – academics and sports – are all awesome! I love downtown Franklin; it has its unique charm. People talk about the Williamson bubble, and I feel like we truly are in an ideal place.
Tell me about your family and where you grew up.
I grew up in Kentucky with my mom, dad and six siblings. I was the oldest, and she had all seven of us before the age of thirty. In 1972, I received a football scholarship to play football at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) as an offensive lineman. I have been married to my wife, Margie, for forty-five years. We have four children; three daughters and one son, who are part of the family business.
