With nearly 3,000 RSPA Education Credits, I’ve been recognized by the RSPA Southern Division and the Missouri Valley Division for education merit multiple times over the years.  I am at Level 4 (the highest) of the RSPA annual education achievement levels.

I was recognized by the RSPA Missouri Valley Division as their 2021 Professional of the Year and then was named Alex Gordon National Professional of the Year for 2021.  I am one of a rare few that have been selected as Division Professional of the Year in two different divisions, Southern(9 States) and Missouri Valley(5 States).

My wife, Lori, and I went to and graduated from the same high school here in North Carolina and never knew one another.  We met some 30 years later through a class reunion.  We are die-hard Oklahoma and now Carolina fans who attend as many games as we can.
