I was born and raised in Hondo and graduated from Hondo High School in 1980.  I have been married for 20+ years to Patricia and have two children, Sharayah and Darren.  I received a Bachelor's Degree in General Business Administration from Schreiner University in 1986.  I have was employed with the Texas Department of Transportation since 1986 until I retired in 2017.

Completing twenty years of service as a school board member has been rewarding.  My goal is to make sure our students receive an excellent education and a positive experience for their future success.
