I was born in Fort Worth, Texas, and have lived in Texas most of my life. I am a retired high school and community college math teacher, and a semi-retired musician.

 

When I was 19 years old, I married Donna, my high school sweetheart. We had 46 beautiful years together before she passed away in 2019. Losing her was the most difficult thing I ever experienced in life.

 

Donna and I raised 3 beautiful, wonderful daughters, who are all caring, loving, considerate, compassionate people. I am so proud of them. We also have 3 beautiful, wonderful grandchildren and one gorgeous great-granddaughter, almost two years old.

 

I do this for them. And, I hope, for us all.
