Please help me exceed my fundraising goal for this great cause.  The Victim Center in Springfield is a critical and necessary resource for our community.  Have a big heart and help out with a donation, and/or purchase a ticket to Wine Women & Shoes on Tuesday, October 2nd at the Oasis Hotel & Convention Center. www.winewomenandshoes.com/event/thevictimcenter/

I'm a Southwest Missouri Native, and I've been married to my high school sweetheart, Christy,  for 19 years. We have two lovely girls, Charlize (13, pictured) and Callie (9).  We reside in rural Willard, where Christy is a reading teacher and the girls are involved in many activities.  Professionally, I am an Executive Vice President and the senior lender for the Springfield, MO market of BancorpSouth Bank.

I've recently developed an appreciation for fine shoes. ;-)
