Biography
I was born, raised, and primarily educated in Mississippi. My Christian faith is of utmost importance to me, and I enjoy being very active, especially outdoors. I'm married to Lee Ann C. Thigpen, J.D. (2001, Ole Miss); and I have three children - Emery Calvin Thigpen, Willis Leland Thigpen, and Louisa Clare Thigpen. My parents, brothers, and brothers' families are a major part of my life as well.
