BIO...

Have been President since starting SVZVFD in February 1984. Self-employed with own auto repair business in 1984 when, along with two others, saw the terrific need for fire service in our neighborhood. We decided to have a community meeting to determine if there was any interest in starting a volunteer fire department. At that first meeting, a board of directors was elected and I accepted nomination to serve as president, which I continue to do. I have been employed with Wagner Cadillac in Tyler since 1986. I worked there as a service advisor for 12 years and body shop manager for 8 years. Since 2006 I have enjoyed being a new car salesman.
