I have been a lifelong resident of the Texico/Farwell area. I grew up and graduated from Texico high school. After graduation I attended ENMU in Portales and graduated with a major in physical education with minors in biology and social studies. In 1997 I received my Masters in sport administration.
This year marks my 29th year in education. I began teaching in 1991 at Gattis Jr. High school in Clovis. I taught life science there for seven years. I began teaching in Texico in 1998 and remained there until my retirement in 2017. While there, I taught a variety of subjects ranging from JH science, HS biology, HS anatomy/physiology, driver's ed., US history, NM history and PE. I have also coached for 28 years. I have coached both JH and HS football, basketball, track and baseball.
After retiring from the New Mexico education system, I taught for one year in Dimmitt, TX where I taught high school physics and world history. In 2018 I was offered a job in Farwell where I teach junior high science.
My wife, Pam and I have been married for 29 yrs. and have two sons. Connor is a pharmacist in Roswell, NM and Gentry is attending Arizona Christian University, playing baseball and pursuing a degree in education. Pam is in her 32nd year of teaching. She currently teaches in Muleshoe where she teaches chemistry and anatomy.
We have four dogs, Aussie, Miley, Zaylee and Marvin.
