I was born in Wichita Falls in 1975.  When I was school age, I attended Henrietta ISD until I was a sophomore.  My father then transferred to Waco where I began attending China Spring High School.  After high school I went to MCC and then transferred to Southwest Texas State University where I graduated with a Bachelor’s of Exercise and Sport Science.  Immediately following college, I worked with troubled teens as an Activities coordinator and Wellness instructor.  I did this for several years until I decided to move back to Waco and then began working at St. Paul’s.
