Our family traveled to Grants, New Mexico the summer of 1974; following our father here during the need for workers nationwide to produce yellow cake. We lived in San Rafael, Milan and finally Grants. We (mom and two brothers) remained here in Grants and I graduated from Grants High in 1977. Attending Harding College in Searcy Arkansas, Eastern New Mexico University; and returned to Grants to marry my high school sweetheart in 1978, Cindy Mace.

I was fortunate to obtain my Associates of Arts degree from New Mexico State University-Grants in 1999. I then returned to work for the city fire department from 2000 to 2003 and was asked to be the lead operator for our wastewater treatment plant in 2003 for CH2MHill-Operations Management Inc. as I am certified in New Mexico in Water and Wastewater; until 2008 when city Manager Bob Horacek asked me to be the Fire Chief.

Your city’s fire service has lowered our city’s ISO rating to #4, renamed a street to remember those lost in 9/11, and honored our late NM Senator Joseph Fidel by naming Station #1 after him.

In our community I have been fortunate with many sponsors to provide dictionaries for our third graders since 2003 and surpassed 10,000 in 2021.
