Me and my family are natives of South, Texas. We have homes in Mathis and Corpus Christi. My family enjoys the outdoors, family get-togethers, traveling, waterparks and we have two dogs, Auggie and Jack. Our boys enjoy sports and play a variety of sports but mostly enjoy football. My folks are both retired and my older brother is an educator and holds his doctorate in educational leadership. He is an administrator in special education.
We are proud Texans and love our state and communities.
Some of hobbies include, art, reading, writing, traveling, camping, visiting theme parks with my family. I also like to spend quality time with my family at home, watching movies, having BBQ’s and bike riding. One of our favorite things to do is visiting my brother’s lakehouse where we enjoy cooking and playing board games.
