About Me
I'm a husband, father, a grandfather, a Canadian and a
Texan. I began my career in Ottawa with the RCMP
(Royal Canadian Mounted Police) then worked for the
Peter Mac
RCMP in different places throughout Canada.
Shirley and I were married in Lubbock TX, 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 ten years
later I sold my telephone directories to an investment group.
For the next 20 years I worked as the 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 we accomplished
that and more. For 22 years TMCN was guided by Executive
Director Nicki Harle, now Callahan County Judge. TMCN now
in its 30th year is guided by Executive Director Lori Dodd.
I learned lifeÕs lessons, as have most of us, from parents,
brothers, friends, family, work, etc. We all carry our past inside
of usÑlessons we learned, those that shaped us, and faith that
helped us through.
Each day I try to start my day with scripture, prayer, and whole
food nutrition, but IÕm not perfect in doing what I know is best.
Over the years I have been reminded of, in different ways by
different people, these timeless words, Òwe donÕt know what
the future holds, but we do know who holds the futureÓ.
