Raised in Quincy, Florida, Col. Cumbie has distinguished himself as an officer, attorney, and member of the judiciary. He supervises all courts-martial activity and judiciary personnel in the USAF Eastern Circuit.
Col. Cumbie attended Robert F. Munroe Day School, a small private school in Quincy, before heading to TCC and then Florida State University, where he earned his Bachelor's and law degrees. “It would have been a little daunting for me to go straight to FSU,” he said. He served as a staff attorney for the Florida Senate after graduating from law school.
Col. Cumbie has won numerous citations, including the Meritorious Service Medal with five oak leaf clusters. He is stationed at Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, DC, and he and his wife, Salli, have two children, Jay and Sam. His father, Tom Cumbie, serves on the TCC Foundation Board of Directors and is its past president.
