I will only follow someone whom I respect. I respect only those who share my values. My values include Truth, Honor, Integrity, Self-Reliance, and Self-Responsibility. My loves are Family, Liberty, America and her Patriots. I was born in Texas. I grew up on a small cotton farm in the dusty Panhandle. I roamed freely over the pastures, creekbeds, and fields. I learned patience from fishing, and discipline from hunting. . I played football in high school. I worked my way through college. I married, raised children, sacrificed, and grew older. My heroes include Alvin York, Roy Rogers, Audie Murphy, John Wayne, my Mother, and my Father. Many would consider me a success. Some would believe I owe them something. I owe only God and my heroes. They inspired and motivated me to be what I am.
