Thank you for visiting our web site.  Let me introduce myself.
I’m 47 years old and have lived in Payne County for the last 24 years.  I grew up in the refinery town of Wynnewood, Oklahoma.  I have Vo-Tech carpentry and welding certificates and a degree in Drafting and Design from OSU-Okmulgee.  I have a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from OSU and have worked with masters and PhD students there since 1986.  I’ve worked for Halliburton Services, been self employed in the construction industry, and currently own and operate a small material testing and manufacturing company.  My family, Rhonda, Luke, and Matthew live on a farm about 9 miles North of Coyle.

Please browse around and give me a call or email if you have questions.
I respectfully ask for your vote this Tuesday.

    Quotes

    "To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. ... A wise and frugal government ... shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. ... Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare but only those specifically enumerated. ... Would it not be better to simplify the system of taxation rather than to spread it over such a variety of subjects and pass through so many new hands?"
        Thomas Jefferson


    “The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. If 'Thou shalt not covet' and 'Thou shalt not steal' were not commandments of Heaven, they must be made inviolable precepts in every society before it can be civilized or made free.”
       John Adams

    "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
       C.S. Lewis
