ABOUT ME: My family came to the United States from Austria in 1867 and became farmers in black creek area of Medina County.
I graduated from Texas A&M University, College Station with a Bachelor of Science Degree and was commissioned second lieutenant US Army Field Artillery in Dec 1987.
I served 24 years active duty and did two combat tours in Mogadishu, Somalia and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Decided after the military to become an educator helping students with learning disabilities and language barriers.
I have 4 years of service in my teacher’s retirement account at Bandera ISD in early childhood and middle school. After Bandera ISD worked at Medina Valley ISD as a school bus driver. Decided to go back into education and became a student at Alamo College as a Social Science and English Support Language (ESL) student working towards teacher certification. In addition to being a student, I am very active at Texas A&M Alum with the 12th Man Foundation for Athletics scholarships and the Presidents Foundation – Heritage Society for Sul Ross Scholarships. I am very dedicated to helping students find a way to afford college and achieving their educational goals in life. Help me educate my kid and your kids together in Devine ISD.
