Dixon’s son, Cameron (28) just finished 5 years in the army, and daughter, Aliza (25) is an engineer with AT&T. He has a large grey dog that he’s seen walking around the streets of Kingsport, where he’s known as Drake’s dad. He enjoys biking on trails and has completed several multiday journeys around the United States. He also enjoys working on his real estate. He has recently completed building out a loft for himself, as well as other rental units in downtown Kingsport.  He was very active in the layout, design, certain aspects of construction, and the completion of final details to make the units unique to the area.

Dixon admits, “I have always enjoyed music and dancing; I ‘play a couple of instruments’ and can be seen ‘dancing’ when I have the chance.”
