Currently I am a retired President from Colorado Northwestern Community College; however, I remain as a professor for the Business Program.  My wife, Alisa, daughter, Samantha, and I moved to Rangely in August of 2016 when I took the position as President of Colorado Northwestern Community College.  We moved to Rangely from Riverton, WY, but both Alisa and I grew up in Southwest Missouri and lived there for several years before we moved to Wyoming. 

Most of my adult life has been spent in education with over 25 years in higher education and 11 years at the high school level.  Besides being President at CNCC, I have served as a professor, Division Chair, Dean and Vice President at Crowder College in Missouri and as Vice President at Central Wyoming College in Riverton.    I also taught business for a few years at Southern Utah University in Cedar City, Utah.  Besides my work in education, I was the CFO for a construction company in El Paso, TX.  We worked exclusively for oil refineries throughout Texas and New Mexico.  I received my BS degree in Business Education from Missouri Southern State University and my Masters degree in Educational Administration from Missouri State University. 

When we moved to Rangely, we immediately fell in love with the town and the people.  We knew that we wanted to make Rangely our home even after my retirement.  Since we have been here both Alisa and I have served on several boards and been involved in many community events. 

Our biggest joy in life are our kids and grandkids.  We have a total of 8 children living in Idaho, Utah, Missouri, and Wyoming and also have 16 grandkids and 1 great granddaughter.
