About Me	After graduating from CHS, I graduated with B.S. and M.S. degrees in petroleum engineering from Texas A&M. I stayed at A&M to work on a Ph.D., but was hired away by Chevron in 1988. I retired from Chevron in 2020, and my wife and I built our retirement home in Goodyear, Arizona (16 miles west of Phoenix). Our home is near I-10 and has a guest house just for you, so come visit and stay with us! After proposing to her on stage in front of 200 friends, co-workers (hers and mine) and relatives at Spellbinder's Comedy Club in Houston, I married Jean in 1991. She's from Longview TX. We have three great kids: Aaron was born in 1995, Logan in 1997 and Tia in 2002. Home was where Chevron sent us: Houston TX from 1988 to 1995 (with short-term assignments in Indonesia and Saudi Arabia), Kuwait from 1995 to 1998, Bakersfield CA from 1998 to 2000, San Ramon CA from 2000 to 2002, Sumatra (Indonesia) from 2002 to 2007, Mandeville LA from 2007 to 2011, Chengdu (China) from 2011 to 2015, and Houston TX from 2015 to 2020. So far we've traveled to every continent except South America and have visited over 40 countries. After 32 terrific and hectic years with Chevron, I retired in 2020. We built a home in a 55+ retirement community in Goodyear AZ, which is about 16 miles west of Phoenix. My days are filled with jogging, hiking, pickleball, swimming, bicycling, and sleeping without an alarm clock. And when Covid-19 subsides we'll be back to traveling, and I'll resume (1) judging at local, regional, and international science and engineering fairs, and (2) visiting high schools to talk about engineering/STEM careers. It's time to live!
