I was born and raised in southern Kansas, attended schools there and then attended Kansas State College at Pittsburg before transferring to the University of Missouri where I completed a BA degree in Political Science and History. The Vietnam War was raging and Uncle Sam soon summoned me to become an Air Force officer. After a year of training I received my dream assignment to Japan where I served for three years as a Communication Officer. Leaving the Air Force I pursued a degree in Public Administration at the University of Kansas. This led to a career as a local administrator in New Mexico and California before deciding to open my own business. After successfully operating my business for a number of years health forced me to start another career as an educator that, ultimately, brought me to Texas. In addition to my full-time employment I had remained in the Air Force Reserve and retired at the rank of L.t Colonel.
Since retirement I have devoted my time to politics and religion. Presently, I am moderator for on line classes for the ENDTIME Ministries and have served as a Precinct Chair in Denton County.
