Davis, Tamatha Adelle: - "A pastor's wife, homeschool mother of four amazing children (two have graduated), and speaker now adds published author to her list of accomplishments! The book 40 Days to Freedom: A Woman's Daily Devotional is just a sampling of the devotional e-mails that she began sending to her friends and co-workers after returning from her first mission's trip to Africa in 1999. In 2003, Tamatha A. Davis left her corporate position in the legal department of a major computer company to stay home with her newly adopted 3 boys' ages two, three, and seven. Her husband had been recently laid off from a major telecommunications company. In just six months Tamatha and her husband Michael went from DINKS (Double Income - No Kids) to three kids with no income! Out of necessity, Holy Smokes BBQ & Catering was born in 2004. Two years later not only was she a business owner and a stay at home mother, but a homeschooling mother as well. Eventually, she found Classical Conversations, a Christian classical homeschooling organization that provided the tools she need to stay the course in homeschooling her growing family. The Davis' adopted a little girl in 2009. Today Tamatha works in Communications and PR for Classical Conversations. She is responsible for launching over 30 homeschooling communities in and around the Houston area. She is still homeschooling her children, still married to the love of her life for almost 25 years, and now adds pastor's wife to her repertoire after moving home to Houston, TX in 2011 to plant Christ's Peace Family Worship Center along with her husband Pastor Michael A. E. Davis. ​ In 2018, Tamatha became an amputee losing her right leg in an above the knee amputation due to Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), a rare vascular disorder.
