Personal Life
In 1988 after being hired by Delta Air Lines, I moved to the DFW area from New Orleans.  In 1996, I married my wife Paula and we lived in the local area until moving to Copper Canyon in 2005. We chose Copper Canyon and in particular our home because of the location near Corps of Engineers property, the many beautiful trees surrounding us and the proximity to DFW Airport.   Paula and I plan on retiring here when I finish my career with Delta Air Lines on September 1, 2021.
