About Me
Age, Health, Family Background, Life and History

●
I'm 67 years old, in
excellent health, married, Christian, 6
kids and 9 grand kids.
●
My family is well rooted
in Apache county. We were among the very
first to settle here in the mid-1860's.
My great grandfather helped negotiate
the deal for the land and establish what
is now Alpine, AZ. My father was born in
Eagar, my uncle and grandmother were
both born in Alpine and all the rest of
that part of the family was born just
across the line in Luna, NM. I spent
most of my childhood within 50 miles of
Springerville so I have a genuine,
personal interest in what happens in
Apache county.
●
I was born in
Farmington, NM and raised there on a
small ranch in the 60's & 70's where I
was taught the respect, honesty,
integrity and work ethic that was so
strong in those days. I have lived or
worked in 36 states and 8 countries and
finally settled back in Arizona in 2011.
●
In the years following
high school, I traveled a lot following
oilfield and heavy construction work. I
eventually joined the U.S. Army in 1982
and traveled even more. I learned a lot
in the Army and by the time I got out, I
had a little different outlook on life
inasmuch as I became more politically
active and had a much better
understanding of the constitution that I
had taken an oath to uphold, which, by
the way, has not expired or been
revoked. I held supervisory and
management positions in virtually every
field that I entered, including the
military.
●
After receiving two
honorable discharges, one from the Army
and one from the Army National Guard, I
spent some time in Idaho and Wyoming
where, among other things, I became a
nationally certified firearms
instructor. I eventually wound up back
in NM where I had a combined firearms
training/ horseback riding business for
a few years. A divorce brought that to
an end so, in 2002, I went back to
Farmington and purchased a popular gun
shop which I operated for the next 13
years.
●
In 2014, I have
gradually phased out the retail portion
of the gun shop and devoted my time
almost exclusively to advanced firearms
training which I am still involved in
