After my graduation from Lee County High School, Honorable Discharge from the U.S. Navy, and graduation from the University of Kentucky Physician Assistant Program, my wife Barbara and I made our home in Lee County. My wife retired from the Lee County Middle School, so I was associated with educators and the school system for many years. Sometime after my retirement from the U.S. Department of Justice, a vacant school board position in my district existed, so I filed for it, and was elected. I very much enjoy being on our school board and helping to ensure, our students receive the proper education they deserve.
