I Love the City of Grapevine!
I am so proud to be a part of this wonderful community - My wife Tracy and I have been married 30
years. We have lived in Grapevine for years. Tracy and I have 3 boys, Jacob, Joshua and Joseph. All 3 of our boys are currently in College. Tracy and I are both graduate from
the University of Oklahoma. While living in Grapevine, Tracy and I have spent countless hours volunteering to help improve our community and our schools. Our family are members at Gateway
Church and our faith has always been our foundation.
I have been a successful business owner in the employment and business consulting profession since 2001. I also invest in consumer development in
Grapevine.
