Background: My wife, Dottie, and I have been married for 49 years. I have three adult children and eight grandchildren. We have been Meridian Ranch residents since 2006.  

Experience: In 2012, I retired after a career in the Department of Defense. My service included many varied roles – enlisted, officer, and civilian employee – in a variety of locations in the U.S. and overseas. During my career, I served the nation during peace and war. I successfully led relatively large organizations, some of which had multimillion dollar budgets. I have previously served on several sports boards, and I volunteered within the community as a youth sports coach.  

I have served on the Meridian Ranch and Meridian Service Metropolitan District boards since 2015.
