Interests

I have been happily married to my wife Stephanie for over 25 years. I grew up in Oklahoma, began my career in Dallas, Texas, and have lived in Tyler, Texas since 2001.

We have four sons: Jake, Zeph, Garrett, and Nick. Three are Eagle Scouts.

I was a den leader for the Boy Scouts of America, and I am currently an active adult member of the organization.

I have been competing in triathlons since 2010, and I plan to compete in the Rose City Tri in Tyler, Texas in Fall 2023.

I enjoy golfing, traveling with my family, hiking, basketball, and water activities.
