I was born and raised in Odessa and graduated from Permian High School in 1974. I owned and operated the 8th Street Army Store in Odessa for 25 years as well as four other surplus/outdoor stores. I also started and operated American Overhead Door in Odessa in 1994 and operated it until I sold it in 2001. I then came to work for Edward jones in 2002.

My job here at Edward Jones has been more than fantastic. I still pinch myself at times as I think how lucky I am to have a job that I love so much and am able to truly make a positive difference in my clients' lives. I never lose sight of how special the relationships are with my clients that seem to become my friends. I am truly blessed!

I am also blessed with a wonderful client base. My calling is to help families manage their wealth with long−term investment strategies to help them take care of those they love.

I have served on numerous boards in Odessa over the years, such as Permian Basin Rehab Center, Odessa Chamber of Commerce and the Ellen Noel Art Museum. I have been an active member of the Odessa Downtown Rotary Club since 2004. I was honored as the Odessa Chamber of Commerce Small Business person of the year in 1989 as well.

My wonderful wife, Bonnie, and I have two kids Paige/Dallas and Brody/Odessa. My main hobby interests are hunting and fishing. I started the Permian Basin Bowhunters Association in Odessa in the early '70s and it is still going today. I was also an active member of the Permian Bass Club in Odessa for over 30 years and love to bass fish. My family and I spend most of our recreational time fishing and playing at Lake Brownwood or working and hunting at our ranch, "The Yellow Moon Ranch", in Coleman, TX.

My team and I do the very best to provide the most comprehensive service possible. We work hard to make it easy to do business with our branch office and Edward Jones. Give us a call or stop by our office to get started.
