Where do you live? 
Granada, Kansas

Where is your hometown?
Lawton, Oklahoma

What was your career journey, to where you are now?
I attended college, served in the U.S. Army, and married into an instant family. I had plans to retire, but that didn’t last long. 

What other federal government or military experience have you had and for how long?
I retired after serving 36 years in the U.S. Army as a military policeman and a senior human resources manager.  

What is your alma mater, degree or special training?

  • Manhattan (Kansas) High School
  • Kansas State University – financial management and human resources
  • Clemson University – financial management and business management

What is your biggest professional or personal accomplishment?
Biggest personal accomplishment would be raising four children, not my own, and having them all become hard working and successful with their own families. Professionally, it would be completing 36 years in the military service. 

How do you recharge your batteries outside of work?
I love working on my lawn.

Tell us a little about yourself. Children? Pets? Married? Hobbies?
I married for the first time at age 37, and I had an instant family with four children. Now I have eight grandchildren as well. I also have a black Labrador Retriever (Raven), four cats (Mia, Charlie, Zoey and Katy), two ducks (Donald and Quackers), one turkey (Tom), 20 chickens and five roosters. 

When I can, I officiate fast-pitch softball or baseball, which I have been doing since 1995. 

What three words best describe your personality?
Likeable, Accountable, Dependable

What is one of the items on your bucket list?
Take my wife to Scotland.

What characteristics or values do you most admire in others?
Integrity, Honesty, Commitment

What is your unique talent, skill or gift?
I taught dance for 15 years — jazz and ballet.

Is there anything else you would like to share about yourself?
I am not afraid of change and always willing to learn something new. I am very patient, even-tempered and understanding. I strive to achieve goals and feel accomplished when I achieve them.

I value traditions and believe they are important.
