I am a husband, father, poppy, and semi-retired public education educator with 34 years experience. I am dedicated to serving all of our communities. The past eight years I have been the Jackson Energy Cooperative Director for District 7( Owsley County) and have been recently nominated by the nominating committee at Jackson Energy Cooperative to continue serving in this capacity as your board of directors. I have been a teacher, coach, administrator, and superintendent of schools and have thoroughly enjoyed helping others reach their full potential. I strongly believe in education both in what a person learns from books and teachers, but also what a person learns from the hard knocks of life in general. I firmly believe in accurate communications and TEAMWORK while having high expectations of myself and others. I believe in hard work, fairness, and equitable approaches in addressing concerns. Lastly, I believe an effective organization meets the members needs and must always be fiscally responsibility to its members. I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and His loving presence on this earth.
