More About Me
I'm a husband, father, a grandfather, a Canadian and a
Texan. Shirley and I were married in Lubbock, then
moved to Canada. Ten years and three children later we
moved to Texas, where I started several Big Country
Telephone Directories (Later called Area-Wide).
Approximately 10 years later I sold all of my telephone
directories to an investment group, and next 20 years was
Þeld director for Texas Midwest Community Network.
TMCN was organized to help Texas Midwest Towns and
Cities promote economic and community growth through
tourism, and it accomplished that and more. The Þrst 22
years it was guided by Executive Director Nicki Harle,
now Callahan County Judge. Now in its 30th year, is
guided by Executive Director Lori Dodd.
These details are important because the marketing
strategy are close to I am doing now.
