Nov 12, 2025

I am a graduate of Southern Nazarene University with a BS in Religion and a Minor in Missions. I was a Lay Chaplain in the Navy and have been a Volunteer Fire Fighter. I completed the ResCare Executive Development Institute training. I was a member of the ELC Round Table for 2 years and helped author Tom Pace of Mentor The Kid and their CEO put together a workbook for schools and Job Corps.

Military Experience: Served in the U. S. Navy from 7/87 to 7/91 assigned to the USS Henry L. Stimson SSBN Submarine as a YN3(SS).

Volunteer Opportunities with Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve: 2006 – Present Since 2012 I received a Presidential appointment as Logan County’s Selective Service Board Member. I completed Leadership Guthrie and have been a Rotary member since 2017. I served as President of my Rotary Club for one year and am now the Assistant District Governor Nominee for Rotary District 5750. I’m also on the Guthrie Chamber Board. I have been a CPR Instructor for American Red Cross since 2016 and a CPR Instructor with American Heart Association since 2022.

History of Working with the recruiting command: 2004 to present. I have been helping the recruiter since 2004 for both the Guthrie and Tulsa locations. According to the Dallas Regional Office of Department of Labor, since I have been volunteering as the Center’s Military Liaison we are the number one center for Military Placement. I help the recruiters with the trainee’s off center passes, keep track of the ASVAB results, and issue the Projection Letters and Armed Forces Certification Forms to assist in the enlistment of the trainee.

Jobs Held: I started working for my Grandfather at Astoria Park Apts. in Amarillo, TX, then worked Sales at JC Penney’s, then U.S. Navy in Submarines. After four years in the Military, I went to work for DOE at Pantex as a Security Police Officer III. I was a Sr. Pastor at Atoka First Church of the Nazarene, then Outreach Pastor at Christian Heritage IPHC in Amarillo, TX. I then moved to Choctaw, OK to work as a PE Teacher at Life Christian Academy. I later worked for Dayton Tire as Gate LT Security Officer. I sold Safety shoes for Iron Age Safety Shoes. In 2002 I started my Career with Guthrie Job Corps Center holding positions in the following areas: From 2002 – 2003 I was Center Protection Supervisor Guthrie Job Corps, then 2003-2005 as Career Preparation Counselor Guthrie Job Corps. I then went to Tulsa from 2005-2007 as their Counseling Supervisor at Tulsa Job Corps. I returned to Guthrie Job Corps in 2007-2011 as a Career Counselor. From 2011-2015 I was a Center Protection Supervisor, then from 2015-2017 I was a Security Instructor. In 2017-2018 I moved into the role as Business Community Liaison and went back to being a Career Counselor from 2018 – 2023. From 2023 – Present I have been working as the Business Community Liaison at Guthrie Job Corp Center.

Over the years I have received many awards, including the following: 13 President’s Volunteer Service Awards and 1 Lifetime President’s Service Award in 2009. I have a Spirit of Volunteerism Award, along with a 7 Seals Award. I have received many Center Director’s Awards from Guthrie Job Corps. I have a Citation of Congratulations from the Oklahoma Representative’s and a State Senator’s Resolution. I also received a Congressional Letter of Appreciation.
