About
I grew up in Baytown, Texas, and graduated from Robert E. Lee High School, where I was a member of the swim team. After high school, I worked as a butcher at a local grocery store. In 1983, I married my wonderful wife, and a year later, I bought my first computer — an Apple IIe — and wrote my first program in Applesoft BASIC. I took classes at Lee College in Baytown before enrolling at Massey Business College, where I graduated in 1989.
I spent more than 30 years living and working in the Houston area, building a career across industries ranging from food service to oil and gas. My wife and I have now been married for over 40 years, and we’re proud parents of three children and grandparents to five wonderful grandchildren.
Over the years, I’ve enjoyed a variety of hobbies, including arcade and computer games, RC planes, golf, disc golf, and driving my 1965 Mercury Comet. These days, I enjoy spending my free time camping or just working around our property here in the beautiful state of Arkansas.
