I have decades of Information Technology and Information Security
experience. I have a proven history of making good Information
Technology and Information Security decisions on a local, State wide
and national scale. I am a proven team leader and team member, with
a long history of successful projects. Which includes highly
successful work on projects of a national scale.
Outside of the Box
I was involved with Boy Scouts in a number of capacities from
2010 through 2013. These include roles as ScoutMaster, Assistant Scoutmaster,
Eagle Scout Mentor/Coach, Advancement Chair, Committee member, Merit
Badge Counselor, etc. I enjoy teaching youth outdoor skills. I am a
Brotherhood member of the Boy Scouts Order of the Arrow (National
Volunteer and Honor Society). Becoming a member of the Order of the
Arrow is one of my proudest moments in Scouting, since the only way
adults can become Order of the Arrow members is if they are elected
to it by the youth members.

About Me
An Abbreviated Biography
I was born in Brownwood, Texas. At the time my father was in the
United States Air force. Not long after I was born my family moved
to Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa, Japan.
We lived in Okinawa for a few years and then my father was
transferred to Fort Meade, Maryland. We remained in Maryland until
my father got out of the military.
After my father left the military, we moved around quite a bit with
his job to different cities and States. It wasn’t until the
mid-1970’s that our family finally settled in Waco, Texas. Where my
family has since remained. I went to High School and College in the
Waco area. I later moved to Houston, Texas for a job. Eventually, I
returned to Waco, Texas to be near my family.
I like to travel and meet new people. I have been to many places,
but I think my favorite place to visit is Vancouver, British
Columbia, Canada. Every time I go there, I still find so much in the
Vancouver area that I have yet to see and explore.
