After graduation, I attended NNC in Nampa for 2 years, then transfered to TVCC where I got my associates degree in architure. I worked for the Oregon State Highway Department for 5 years, then went back into farming. Currently I am the manager of an onion packing/processing plant in Quincy, WA.

My family consists of my wife of 38 years, Debbie and 4 children and 6 grandchildren. Right now my time is divided between work and helping my daughter who is fighting breast cancer and of course playing with my grandkids.

I have very fond memories of Nyssa High School but the one memory that still haunts me and will for the rest of my life is when Kathy Dority had Theo Ashby and I stand up in front of the pep rally and made a succor us. I remember good times, walking the halls and laughing and joking around in the lunch room. And nothing could beat the drive between Parma to Nyssa with Bob Smit in the drivers ed car going around 100 mph -- way to fast, and Mel Calhoun saying "go faster".
