My Career:
I have spent most of my life working in the construction industry, and I represent several lines of roof structures and wall and floor framing. I deal with both wood and steel structures. We do the structural designs from the slab up to the sheetrock. I ventured into the building business and built offices and restaurants and had an electrical business for a few years.

I have lived in Plano, Texas, for 23 years. I stay in contact with a few people from our Class and School, but often wonder what has happened to some of the good friends I used to have.

What I’m Most Proud of:
I am most proud of my family. I have a wonderful, understanding wife, four children and a grandchild, which I am very proud of.
