1. What was your upbringing like, what is your education level, and what brought you to the Killeen area?
I was born and raised in Killeen and spent my entire childhood attending KISD. I attended Harker Heights Elementary, Eastern Hills Middle School, Killeen High School and Harker Heights High School, where I graduated in 2002. I was fortunate enough to earn a scholarship to play football at the University of North Texas, where I earned a degree in Business Economics. It was also at UNT where I met my wife, Erin Mills, who now works as a Parent Educator for Killeen ISD. Shortly after graduating from college, we decided to move back to the only place Iâve called home and raise a family here in Killeen.
