Bio

I was born in Oklahoma City, October 10th, 1945. I have an older brother, Jeff. We both went to grade school, junior high, and high school in NW Oklahoma City. At John Marshall high school I was the school organist and one of the school photographers.

In the fall of 1964, I entered the University of Oklahoma, where I earned BBA and MBA Degrees. I also married my high school friend and college sweetheart, Linda Kay Wallis, in 1968. We finished college as married students, which for us was a wonderful experience.

I had a career in the business world, and Linda Kay was an elementary school teacher. We have four children, and as of the latest count, we have eleven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

Life has been good for us, with plenty of challenges. We feel very blessed to have been married for 57 years and to be able to enjoy our children and grands and greats. We have a very busy, rewarding life.
