I have been married for over 41 years to my high school sweetheart. Together, we have raised three wonderful children and many beloved dogs. In 1984, we made the significant move from Texas to California, a decision that marked the beginning of many new adventures. My career has been varied and dynamic. At one point, I decided to venture out on my own and started my own company, where I enjoyed thirteen years of successful business. Over the years, I have continually reinvented myself, exploring new opportunities and launching other businesses.
