My Pride & Joy

My wife Mary and I have been married for 35 years and we have enjoyed, with our two sons, the many adventures that have come our way during that time. Our sons Daniel and Mathew graduated from Flour Bluff High School and continued their education to graduate from Texas A&M Kingsville and Baylor University. Today Daniel is married to Dina and works in IT, while Mathew is working hard to complete his last school of med school.
