He has served se as the Chief Development Officer for the YMCA of Greater Tulsa for 11 years.
One of his proudest accomplishments was chartering and opening a YMCA in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, a community that never had a Y before.

He loves to be outside, and his friends and family mean the world to him.
