1.) Who do you wish you kept in touch with from high school?
I’ve kept in touch with people from my Detwa days. Not as many as I would have liked or as much either. Why didn’t somebody start this 10yrs ago?
2.) What is something you wish you did after high school or college that you never had the chance to do?
I wish I would have pursued my passion for water Ballet. I used to compete on a National level. Now, I can only do this in my spare time.
3.) What is something you're happy you had the chance to do?
Live in Dallas a single man. Cut the umbilical chords of my 4 boys : o
“Action” Jackson-5, Cecil “Diesel”-4, Twins Zachary & Tyler-20mos.
I cried during all of them. Women are amazing to me!
4.) Where is your favorite place you've been to in the last 20 years?
The time I spent in Paris relaxing in that small café sipping on International blends…….What was the name of that waitress……..?????
I’ve been to a lot of places, but I had the most fun in Dallas. It’s definitely the place to be for a single guy ;) It’s also where I met my lovely wife. We now reside with our 4 boys in Maryland. 5.) Name a high school memory that still makes you smile/laugh
Some of the shit that used to go down at Groves back in the day you would be in serious trouble for today. The last 1-2 weeks of school things would get a little crazy. I’ll never forget the time McCardle deployed a military smoke bomb in the hallway. It was a tribute to Jimmy Hendrix’s “Purple Haze”. What a classic!
6.) Who are you looking forward to seeing at the reunion?
I’m looking forward to seeing the people that are ready to forget their lives for a while and disco down! Even though I moved to Maryland my junior year, I was always at Groves in spirit. Thanks to all of my friends who opened their doors and treated me like family when I came back to visit summers and holidays. You know who you are and I love you. I can’t wait to man handle you ; )

7.) Is there anything your spouse/significant other would be surprised to know about you from your high school days?
No. She knows I’m a freak without warning!
