What would you like to tell us about yourself; family, hobbies, work, etc?
I'm a born and raised Amarilloan. I grew up at Lake Tanglewood and that's where I began my love for fishing. I am a member of Golden Spread Bassmasters and Amarillo Exchange Club. I enjoy any outdoor activity including hiking, running and snow skiing. I attend Washington Ave Christian Church where I am a Small Group Leader for youth and participate in the young men's bible study. In 2019 I obtained my Texas Real Estate License. I'm currently a Commercial Associate with Coats Commercial Group at Keller Williams and I am the Market Center Tech Trainer. You can find me and my Old English Sheepdog, Maddy, working at Palace Coffee most afternoons.
How are you connected to or involved with Ronald McDonald House?
My mom, Holly, and a couple of her friends are on the Board of Ronald McDonald House. When you have a mom that volunteers you get the opportunity to help as well!
Why is caring for families of ill children important to you?
I think it's especially important to care for families of ill children here in Amarillo since our Regional Medical Center is a hub for the Texas Panhandle, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Kansas. RMHC provides a safe place for families from out of town and lessens their financial burden at a difficult.
I am so honored to be serving our community as a "Sole Man" champion for Amarillo's 1st Annual Wine Women & Shoes! For the past 40 years, Ronald McDonald House has cared for families of early, ill, and injured children in need of a home-away-from-home while they receive medical care. It costs $100 a night to house a family at RMHC of Amarillo, but thanks to the generosity of our area's supporters, no family is asked to pay for their stay. Will you help me raise the most money to care for families in need? When I raise the most money with your support, I will be crowned "King of Sole" on Thursday, March 23rd!
