I am a well rounded individual with plenty of life experience. Although, I have not been on anyone's payroll for many years, I have stayed busy doing real world things. I adopted two new born baby girls and raised them to be valuable members of society. They are college graduates, and both played college volleyball. The youngest is completing her Master's degree in Psychology from University of St. Thomas. I have been a substitute teacher and religious education teacher off and on throughout the years. When we built our latest home, I prepared a book with estimates and plans for the construction. Citizen's Bank in Baytown issued a construction loan in our name allowing us total control of the job. The job went smoothly and as planned. I tutored many students through the years. My favorite was a young man who wanted to be in the Navy, but could not pass the ASVAB test. I helped him improve his math skills. He finally passed and wrote a letter from his base thanking me. I have always stayed busy, learning, volunteering, and helping my family and my community.
