He was also an avid surfer in his early high school and college years, a dedicated wire-line engineer in the oil and gas industry, a beloved father, brother, uncle and grand-father and cherished friend, known for his fantastic BBQ, love for the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers and his uncanny ability to turn challenges into achievable goals.
