contracts, each with an annual budget of over
$150 million per year. I worked as a semiconductor
front-end manager, a geophysicist, a statistical
ga programmer, a computer embedded diagnostics
> P mg programmer, an engineering manager, and a
program manager. I have strong leadership, people
management, financial management, and team-
building skills developed from this experience.
What do you do for fun?
Now that I am retired, my primary hobby is playing golf. However, I also
dabble in classic vinyl records, old-fashioned gaming (pool, pinball, etc.),
and some amateur cooking.
Can you tell us about your family?
I was raised in St. Louis, in a family of five kids before leaving for Texas 40
years ago. I found my bride in Calgary, Alberta (while on assignment), and we
raised three exceptional children: Clayton, Cassie, and Steven, all educated
in the Celina school system. Clayton is 37 and is a business automation
programmer for PepsiCo. Cassie is 35 and owns her own pet store ("Tails
In The Sand,” google it) in Cape Cod. Steven is 32 and is between jobs. You
may have seen all three kids playing in the Celina band during the late 90s.
Unfortunately, I am still waiting for grandchildren. My sons and their mother
[we are now divorced] all live in McKinney.
How long have you lived in Weston?
I have lived in Weston for 31 years.
What brought you here?
I grew up in the big city, whereas my wife grew up on a farm in Alberta.
When we got pregnant with our third, we decided to get out of the rat race
and move to the country. After searching for four months, a friend told us
of a perfect property in Weston Creek Estates. We tracked the owner down
in Oklahoma, made an offer, and the rest is history.
