| Introduction | I grew up in Texas on a cattle ranch. I was fortunate to be raised by my grandparents after the death of my mother. My grandmother’s best friend was Betty Moorman, a wealthy White lady, who in effect adopted my family. So I had the interesting life of growing up poor, but knowing what it was like to be rich. I went to private high school, paid for by Betty. I excelled in school, and received an academic scholarship to Southern Methodist University in Dallas. After graduating I worked in as an electrical engineer, before getting into sales. In 1992 I bought my own sales company, and built a multi-national six office organization, which I sold in 1996. Presently I am an executive in an IT consulting firm, and serve on the board of The Adoption Exchange in St. Louis. In short, I know what it is like to be poor, to be rich, and to give back.
