Wow 20 years...great to see everyone's updates, seems like the 10 year reunion was just yesterday! After graduation I went to Tech for a couple of years but had a really hard time trying to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up. So I took a semester off and never went back. Instead I got married and focused my energy on my family. I've been married for the last 14 years to Kelly (86' CHS grad) and we've got two great kids, Miranda (13) and Reed (10).

We started out our lives together in Lubbock but we knew we didn't want to live in Lubbock forever. We finally took the plunge in 2001 and moved across the country to Portland OR. We've spent most of the last 8 yrs. in Portland but did a one year stint in Denver CO. We love living in the Pacific NW and enjoy spending time outdoors year around.

I've spent the years since I left Tech working on the administrative side of the healthcare industry and currently work at a local teaching hospital coordinating a quality improvement program in emergency medicine. Last year I decided to return to college and I am currently working on getting some science credits in hopes of entering nursing school next year. My life is super busy these days with family, school and work. I won't be able to make it back to Lubbock but have enjoyed the virtual “catch-up”
Best Wishes to all!
