Credentials:
B.B.A., East Texas State University;
M.A., Midwestern State University
My early school years were spent in Mt. Pleasant, Texas, where I was born and graduated from Mt. Pleasant High School. After graduation I attended Texas Christian University where I also played baseball. My BBA was completed at East Texas State University and later I received my MA in Political Science at Midwestern State University. After college and working for a few years, I joined the USAF and retired 20 years later as a Major. I became a Federal and State government professor for NTCC and one of my main goals is for students to enjoy discussing politics in my classes. My community service has been with the Mt. Pleasant Chamber of Commerce, Presbyterian Church, and the Optimist Club. I enjoy doing fundraisers to help NTCC clubs and organizations. My main hobby is playing golf and watching sports on television. I am confident you will enjoy the content of the government courses regardless of what career you choose, and you will see the impact that government has on all of our lives (for better or worse).
