Favorite things about Peachtree City:
I am thankful to be living where so many families have the same values and appreciation for our planned community. Living in Peachtree City is like being at a resort where the abundant amenities, including recreation, low crime, golf courses, and golf cart paths, all contribute to our quality of life and the sense of community found in Peachtree City.
Mike King
Council Member - Post 2
During the summer of 1987, Mike, a career military officer, and his wife Shirley transferred to the Atlanta area from Wiesbaden, Germany. While still living in Europe, they took a week-long house hunting trip to Peachtree City - that was enough to convince the Kings to make Peachtree City their home. Little did we know that some thirty-two years later, it would still be home!
Mike is a native of Hartsville, South Carolina. From there, he was inducted into the US Army in the spring of 1969, commissioned in the spring of 1970, completed rotary wing flight training in the summer of 1971, prior to being deployed to South Viet Nam as a scout pilot for two separate air cavalry units. These two assignments ranged from the lofty mountain ridges along the Demilitarized zone in the north to the flat expanse of the Mekong Delta in the South.
His career continued in both aviation and ground assignments within the United States and overseas, culminating as the Commander of Troops at Ft. McPherson/Gillem, until his retirement in 1993. Follow-on vocations included commercial fleet sales with Ford Motor Company and as a contracted planner for the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta.
Two volunteer programs, Meals on Wheels, and mentoring young boys without dads, Mike considers time well spent since his full retirement in 2011. Additionally, he must include his frequent workout sessions at Fitness 54! Last, but not least of which, serving on the Peachtree City Council for the past five years has proven to be most rewarding.
Mike and Shirley are the parents of three grown children and the proud grandparents of two grandchildren.
Favorite things about Peachtree City:
Without question, the golf cart lifestyle, the friendliness of the residents, & the close-knit community.
Clint Holland
Council Member - Post 3
Having visited Georgia for many years, as his wife Ann’s parents were living in Jonesboro, they drove through Peachtree City multiple times and liked the area very much. They’ve moved 13 times during his business career, but they finally settled in Peachtree City in early 2020 when they found their forever home! Clint finally decided to fully retire at the end of 2021. Ann’s parents then move to Peachtree City.
Growing up in Rhode Island, Clint excelled in science and mathematics early on and pursued this academic area throughout his career. Working in water/wastewater treatment, filtration, medical devices, and the environmental area for his entire career, he traveled the world extensively for large and small companies, including a few of his own, helping clients solve their water needs. He started a medical device air filtration company in Buffalo, NY in 1990 where he developed 4 patents. Clint grew the company and ultimately sold it. Today it is a division of a large medical products company.
With a BS in Chemical Engineering, an MBA with emphasis in Marketing/Economic and a PhD in Environmental Engineering, Clint has spent most of his working years in the technical/engineering business area managing companies and divisions, both large and small. For 2 years he taught Mathematics at Metropolitan State University in Denver CO as an Adjunct Professor.
Clint’s daughter Caitlin lives and works in Michigan and his wife Ann works locally for Hanna Brothers at Chick-fil-A headquarters. Both are the “light of his life”.
Once settling in Peachtree City Clint dove into local politics. He started by attending city council meetings and PTC Planning Commission meetings. He was appointed to the Fayette County Water Committee and was asked to serve on the 2022 Comprehensive Plan Committee.
He transferred from Knights of Columbus council in Augusta, GA to the Peachtree City, GA council where he is the Family Director. He enjoys the Holy Trinity Catholic Church family atmosphere where he helps on various church projects.
Favorite things about Peachtree City:
Ann and I love the abundant amenities and restaurants here, along with the ease of using the golf cart paths, beautiful golf courses, Farmers Market, and lots of year-round events at Drake Field. I can’t believe we were lucky enough to find this gem of a city, and the good people of Peachtree City have welcomed us with open arms.
