He is married to wife Heather, and has two children, Kyle (12) and Jamison (10). They have enjoyed living in many states in U.S., with previous assignments in California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas.
Atkins thanks Major General L. Dean Fox, USAF (Ret.), retiring North American CEO, for his dedication and service to the company over the past few years and wishes him happiness and success in the future.
