I moved to Denver in the middle of the first grade and moved back to Plano in the middle of the eleventh grade. I graduated from Plano Senior High in 1984 and then attended Richland College and the University of North Texas where a received a Bachelor of Business Administration. From there I attended the Texas Tech University School of Law and was licensed to practice law in May of 1993. Enough of the boring stuff. My real life revolves around my wife, Lisa, and two daughters, Anna and Olivia. When we’re not carting them around to all their activities, we love to travel and see new places, usually in our travel trailer. In my spare time (when there is any) my real passion is racing bicycles. I race mountain bikes, road bikes and cyclocross. In addition to being fun, it is a great way to burn off stress.
