I am the faculty advisor of the Oklahoma Weather Lab (OWL) which is a student-led organization of students who produce weather forecasts for the public and develop new means of displaying weather data. Barb is a Merit Badge counselor and our sons are in Troop 777 out of Norman, OK. I am honored to have been selected as Scoutmaster for one of the four troops Last Frontier Council is sending to the BSA National Jamboree in 2013.

I am the father of 5 kids – including one Boy Scout and one Cub Scout.
I love to camp and experience the outdoors. I have hiked all over the Sierra Nevadas, and have been on plenty of whitewater and canoeing adventures across the Western U.S. and in Oklahoma. But to this day, the crowning experience of my Scouting career has been my participation in the 1985 Boy Scout Jamboree! I’m looking forward to taking my 12 year old son and many other Scouts from the Last Frontier Council to Jambo 2013 for the experience of a lifetime.
