Currently living in San Angelo, TX and oversee operations for an Independent Oil & Gas Company. I love what I do, spend half my time in the office and the other half out in the field. I got married on August 2, 2008 to Courtney Koehn of San Angelo. She is a 6th Grade English teacher, Department Head, and Team Lead. No children yet but planning on having a little one sometime in the future.
My hobbies are anything and everything that has to do with Hunting and Fishing. I recently picked up Fly Fishing and am hooked for life.

To be honest I am not really sure. I have a lot of memories that stand out but its very hard to just pin point one thing. I enjoyed my time at NCTC and I dont think I will ever be apart of anything as special as our 2001 team. I never knew what a TEAM was until I came to NCTC. By far my most memorable sports moment was winning the title in 2001

I had the most amazing and crazy memories from my time at North Central, but most of my favorites had to be the dorm life, and all our pranks and antics in general...from Tetris and RBI baseball wars on the "old school" Nintendo, to Boondock Saints, to Jeff Martin vs Craig Stansberry yelling matches, to Harp's history class (which I ACED), to peanut butter on the doornob, to epic flips matches...they were ALL times I'll never forget.
My favorite sports moment is easy..."2001 JUCO World Series Champions baby!!!"

Funniest story is probably when our tarp blew off our field when we were trying to take it off on a very windy day....it blew a very long way and where it landed no one knows! My most memorable moment was when we had a big snow/ice storm and we went and bought inner tubes at Wal Mart and pulled each other around the parking lot.

My funniest story at NCTC was the time when we had a hypnotist perform his act at our colllege and I was one of the subjects who volunteered to be under hypnosis. I didnt remember anything of what happened but all the students who were in the auditorium that night said I was hilarious. I saw a video of the whole the thing and I was completely embarrassed. He had us acting like complete fools.
My most memorable moment at NCTC was the Regional Tournament in which we finished 2nd place
