I was born in Taylor and grew up as the oldest son with many responsibilities.  I worked as a painter in Houston before returning to Taylor to work as a router operator.  In 1994, I joined the staff at Southwestern University as a building attendant, and after 20 years, retired from the University in November 2014.  I have been on staff at The Worship Place since June 2014 and feel very blessed to work here.  I enjoy bike riding, reading, fishing, and spending time with family.
