“My wife, Jane, and I have been married 35 years. Our daughter, Rachel, has 4 children and lives in NW Oklahoma where she and her husband farm. Our son, Max, and his wife live in KCK where he leads a sales team for an acquisitions company. I came to SC after 32 years in public education; 12 years teaching and 20 years in administration including elementary principal, Assistant Superintendent of Business and Operations, and Superintendent of the Winfield school system.  I love spending time with my wife and family, and all things outdoors – yard work, gardening, fishing, hiking, and kayaking. We have a family farm in Oklahoma where I am always reminded of the beauty and depth of God’s creation; the home-place where I go to be restored, find peace, and relax with family.”
