About me:

Poteau, home of the world's highest hill.  No, really!

I was born and raised in Poteau, Oklahoma, a small town in the eastern part of the state about 100 miles southeast of Tulsa.   I attended high school there and later graduated from the University of Oklahoma in Norman (Boomer Sooner) with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration.  After leaving OU, I returned home to Poteau where for the past six-and-a-half years, I have managed the John Deere dealership our family has owned since 1977.   I am also an active sports official, having worked games in high school and college softball, football, and basketball since 2001; additionally, I am currently serving my second term as President of the Green Country Basketball Officials Association.
