Jordan my son is 13 years old and he is everything I was not. He makes straight A's- He is the Quarterback #22 and I am the Head Coach (in picture back row with glasses on) 6 year's as well as pitcher in baseball- He is point guard in basketball-- pretty much rocks at whatever he does. He is so cute I had to stop taking him out to the mall etc because I got hit on. lol. No seriously Jordan is my only Son and filling my heart with joy and happiness he does in deed.
My wonderful Daughter Brandy is now 12 and my oh my is she a handful. Super whitty she is an A and B student. She plays basketball-softball. Brandy plays point guard in basketball and short stop and pitcher in softball. She has her momma's touch and loving heart.

Wow, what a ride it has been. The old rumor about me was either I would be in prison or a millionaire. Well I never went to prison so it looks like I got lucky and became a millionaire. I went to Owasso most of my life and then I got into trouble the summer of my junior year and got put in a boy's home in a town called Quinton there is where my life started to take shape and I began to become a better person as a senior I played football for the first time and actually lettered. I had schlorships to some colleges etc. I guess all the years of playing soccer in Owasso somehow made me have a great right leg. I had a kicking skill I was able to kick 50+ yard field goals and 50-70 yard punts. Anyway, I had a wonderful senior year and graduated with principal's honor roll. I moved back to tulsa in 89 at the age of 17 and was on my own. Difficult to do much because you have to be 18 to get anything accomplished. So with 3 1/2 weeks until my birthday it could not have come soon enough. I worked as a waiter at the olive garden doing double shifts and then got a job at QT. I worked for QT for 1 1/2 years before deciding to work for the Tulsa World which ended up being the best thing that happened to me in the business world because within 2 years I had got my skills in sales to make my own business now named Circulation Sales Associates. I traveled the country working for newspapers building their circulation and marketing their papers. I met the love of my life in California in 1994. She is a Red head with an attitude and one that I had to marry. So we did in 1995 and somehow she has put up with me now for 15 years. We have worked hard as a team and accomplished some very difficult task. She is my everything. Without my family and God of course none of my success in life or all the worlds tangible items that we have acquired matter. My millionaire status is richness in love for my family. We now live in Liberty Mounds ok were we have some rental propertys and 2 convienient stores at 201st harvard and 221 st yale South. They have full service from hamburgers to simple simons pizza. We continue to do the newspaper as well. Busy Busy.
My wish for all that are reading at-least part of my story--
May God bless you and your family as I have surely been blessed.
School Story:
The funniest memory I have is of Jeff Hall in the talent show doing his dance with the pillow over his arms-head and chest to the song BIRD STEP. If you all remember this is was definately a top 10 funniest moment BAR NONE.
Another time was in 9th grade Mr Poole wow, could he give swats. He had Kevin Clem out in the hall and after the first swat the kid screams out in auguish. Everyone starts laughing out loud and you can here other class rooms doing the same.
Tulsa Arm-Drop Live at Tulsa Raceway Park 2009.
I raced my 2009 Shelby Cobra Gt 500. It has 774 horsepower and 673 hp to the rear tires. It runs low 11's. I have traction problems or it would be faster.
There where over 300 cars at the Drags over 2 days. They qualified and then got put into brackets. The top 36 closest raced. I was lucky enough to race in the top 36 with Rich ARMDROPPING US at the start of the race. If you look close Rich is on a platform arm dropping us. Even thou I lost that race it was AWESOME. I now drag race often at the Midnights at Tulsa Raceway Park just south of Owasso about 6 miles. Hope you enjoy it. G
