More About Me
I'm a husband, father, a grandfather, a Canadian and a Texan. 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 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
TMCN was guided by Executive Director Nicki Harle, now Callahan
County Judge. Now in its 30th year it is guided by Executive Director
Lori Dodd.
Over the years I have worked along side some great men and women,
and from them I learned a few things. I learned when to say no. I
learned that the best way to start the day is with good nutrition. And IÕve
learned to set boundaries and to know my purpose.
I have been reminded many times, by friends and family, of these
timeless words, Òwe donÕt know what the future holds, but we do know
who holds the futureÓ.
