I entered this career field intent on mastering it only to learn that it's just a little too hard to do...a team is essential and enriching for my clients as well as me. This is where I learned how to be a planner before setting off to start Business-owner Strategies Group, LLC. I'm thankful for folks like Hank, Jack, Henry, Ron and Bobby who've helped me.

I enlisted in 1980 and enrolled in ROTC at Texas A&M. From there, I learned to fly aircraft, lead people and do a lot of things that most people will never have a chance to experience.
