I am 60 years of age, happily married with two children and three grandchildren. Presently, we live in the Four Corners region of New Mexico, but are moving to Oklahoma relatively soon.

I obtained a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of New Mexico and my Masters in Educational Administration from Grand Canyon University.

I am presently an education administrator, having spent over 30 years in the public schools. During that period of time, I have served as a teacher, coach, administrator, and school board member. My areas of instruction were: Physical education, health, science, (biology, ecology and conservation, physical, and general) history, (U.S., World, and Navajo) U.S. government, and driver education. I coached football, basketball, wrestling, cross country, and track. I was an athletic/activities director, both at the building and district level. I coached parliamentary procedure teams that competed successfully at the national level.

I am a deacon in my local Baptist church, and have taught Sunday School for a number of years.

I served for 25 years as a volunteer fireman, holding a number of positions of servitude and leadership including: Chief, Asst. Chief, Fire and Rescue Training Officer, EMS Supervisor, Water Rescue Captain, High Angle Rescue Officer, and most memorably, plain ol' fireman!

My interests include geocaching, computers, and golf.
