After retiring from K-12 education, my time has been split between writing, fishing, Texas Master Naturalists, and the Texas Ramp Project. I have published two books, Face The Bear and Follow The Frog, am the president of the International Organic Trout Anglers Association, five year member of the Cypress Basin chapter of TMN and build wheelchair ramps for those in need with the Eagle Landing chapter of the TRP. I live on a beautiful small lake in piney woods of northeast Texas. Every day is a new adventure and I try to live life well.
