Continued from page 76 masters from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.   Q: When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?   A: A game warden.   Q: How did you get into your field?   A: Being a kid in school I would daydream and I would come up with all these incredible stories. I took a creative writing course and at the end of the course we had to read something we had written. Everyone else had written these tearjerkers. I thought, “I’m going to flunk this.” My story began with, “The world is being taken over by pigeons and squirrels ...” My professor stopped me in the hall and told me how much he liked my story.    Q: Would you recommend your career for other people? Why?  A: Sure. I think as long as they are creative and enjoy writing, they need to share their writing with the world.   Q: What do you do to relax?   A: On Thursday nights I stay up late and watch survival shows. Sometimes I catch up on my writing.  Q: If you could visit any place in the world, where would you go?   A: Jackson Hole, WY.    Q: What period in history would you most like to travel to?   A: 1840s American West. I’d be a mountain man.       Q: If someone asked you for your best advice, what would you say?   A: From the Gospel: Love God with your whole heart and love your neighbor as yourself.   Q: What’s your favorite hobby?   A: I love searching for Native American artifacts.    Q. What is the one thing that makes you happy?   A: I love spending time with my wife and kids.   Q: What makes you really sad?   A: Seeing children suffer, in any way.   Q: What scares you?   A: I see young people that seem to find it cool to be anti-American. My grandfather used to tell me stories of how he fought for this country when he was young and now young people have no inclination to stand up for what is right.   Q: Who in your life has influenced you the most? How?  A: My parents have each influenced me in positive ways.    Q: What would you most like to be remembered for?   A: For being a doer, for being bold enough to laugh at a challenge, bold enough to try things that most people would never dream about.  TEXAS BUTANE CO., INC.
