I grew up in a small town in Oklahoma where there were more cows than people. After high school I was lucky enough to get a scholarship to play college football and baseball at Lindenwood University, near St Louis, where I worked on getting a degree in Education. I ended up finishing my degree at USAO, in Chickasha Oklahoma, and moved to Texas expecting to start my career coaching and teaching in the DFW area. God had other plans and I started my Law Enforcement career working for the City of Lewisville where I spent time on Patrol, SWAT, SRO, Gangs, Narcotics, Street Crimes, CID, and Mental Health. After 20 years in law enforcement I decided to retire and find a place where I could spend more time with my two little girls, Eleanor and Oaklyn. I just started here at CCA in 2025 and I’m excited to be here.
When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be a professional baseball player or a marine biologist. I love baseball, animals, and the ocean. Scuba diving and studying creatures in the ocean sounded fascinating to me as a small town kid in Oklahoma nowhere near a beach/ocean.
Why do you choose to work at CCA? I have always enjoyed working with kids and then being able to do it at a place that puts God first is a dream come true. This place has a small town feel in the middle of the big metroplex.
What is one fun fact about you? I got shot at my last job! That’s fun right? HA!
What is your favorite book of all time? American Sniper. I’ve met Chris several times when I was on the SWAT team, and being a former sniper myself, hearing his real life story was very impactful on me.
What is one thing that can instantly make your day better? Hearing my little girls laugh.
What do you like to do for fun? I love to golf, fish, hike in the mountains, and go to the beach
