I don't hate fat peopIe......I hate Tyra Banks

About Me

I own my own insurance/investment company based in Dallas/ Ft. Worth. I also own a cattle operation in North Texas. I grew up in the Texas Hill Country near Kerrville. The Gaudalupe River was in my back yard. I'm now living in the un-scenic North Texas. My wife and I own a ranch near Decatur, Texas.In my free time I travel to remote parts of the world with my wife and our adopted son Jett. Jett is from Siberia in Russia. He is the light of my life, and my best friend. I like roping, riding colts, screwing up good horses, Mountain biking, any ocean sports, throwing bbq's at the ranch, old cars, and hanging out with friends. .........
