"I married my high school sweetheart, Cathey Sayles, and we have two children, Joseph and Jennifer, and five grandchildren, Josh, Chelsea, Jacob, Gracie and Garrett.  Our children and grandchildren are our blessings.  I have had a lengthy coaching and teaching career, spending most of those years at Tarleton State University, with the exception of a year at Texas A&M University while obtaining my doctorate.  Upon returning to Tarleton I have coached football and track, been department head, athletic director, Dean of the School of Education.  I am now enjoying fulltime teaching again.  I have served on the Stephenville school board numerous years and my leisure time is spent fishing at our lake house on Lake Palo Pinto."  (October 2006.)
