"You're Killing Me Smalls,

You're Killing Me!"

I'm a Husband

I have been married to my wife Lisa for 40 years. We are both from the San Joaquin Valley as I was raised on a dairy in Lemoore and my wife was raised on a farm in Laton. We met by participating in a high school club called Future Farmers of America. We were showing pigs at the California State Fair and I said, "Hello". The rest is history.

I'm a Father

My wife and I have two children.

Our son, Cole is 29 years old. He is a graduate of Fresno State University. He is a Business Manager in Fresno and is married with a 1 year old son, Jagger.

Our daughter, Madison is 26 years old. She is a graduate of Simpson University. She is a Nurse in Fresno and is married as well.

I'm an Independent Provider

This means something to me. I was raised by a single mother who need government help to provide for our family. I was a terrible student in school, I earned poor grades, but I loved the school environment and the social connections. My biggest goal as an adult was to have a job that would provide a better life style for me and my family. To use my personal skills to make enough money to create a BETTER LIFE! To be an Independent Provider.
