I am a passionate, driven individual who is not easily intimidated by challenges. I thrive on taking risks and pushing the boundaries, all while remaining unconcerned about what others might think. My strength and directness are balanced with a genuine care for those around me.

My journey began on the football fields of Missouri State University, where I learned the value of discipline, teamwork, and determination. These qualities have become the foundation of my character, propelling me forward in all aspects of my life. As I pursued a career that took me to far-flung corners of the world, including Afghanistan, Iraq, and various parts of the Middle East, I gained invaluable experiences and a deep understanding of different cultures.

Education has played a significant role in shaping my perspective. I have sought knowledge and embraced learning opportunities, equipping myself with the tools needed to tackle even the most complex situations. However, I must admit that I've also been known to be a bit of a troublemaker at times, questioning conventional wisdom and challenging the status quo. But I firmly believe that it is through disruption and innovation that true progress is made.

In my personal life, I am fortunate to be married to the love of my life, Markisha. Together, we have created a beautiful family that brings me immense joy and fulfillment. We are blessed with three amazing children: Jayden, Kelyce, and Kendall, each with their own unique personalities and talents. Being a parent has taught me the importance of nurturing, supporting, and encouraging those we love.

When faced with adversity, I am the one people turn to. I possess an unwavering determination and a willingness to take any situation to the extreme. I thrive on challenges, using my strategic thinking and fearlessness to overcome obstacles and achieve extraordinary outcomes. My leadership style inspires others to dream bigger, think differently, and embrace calculated risks.

I am an individual who lives life to the fullest, unapologetically pursuing my passions and striving for excellence. I am driven by a deep desire to make a positive impact on the world around me, constantly seeking opportunities for growth and self-improvement. My journey has been and continues to be a thrilling adventure, filled with highs and lows, but always leading me towards greater heights.

In conclusion, I am a passionate, leader-driven individual who fearlessly embraces life's challenges. I am unafraid to take risks, challenge norms, and chart my own course. Yet, amidst it all, I remain caring, strong, and direct, always striving to make a positive difference in the lives of others.

How did you meet Rodney and/or Tiffani

Of course that’s my twin but I meet Tiffani at UCO when they were dating. I was introduced by my brother and the rest was history.
