Kenneth grew up in South Texas, graduating from Freer High School in 1955. After high school, he began his career with Humble Oil (Exxon). For five years, he worked offshore drilling, living in Grand Isle, LA where Rhonda and Dee Anna were born. In 1963, he transferred to Freer, TX where Clint was born. In addition to the oil field, he loved working with the Freer Jaycees on the annual Rattle Snake Round Up, working his cows, taking his family on many camping adventures, and attending all his children’s’ sporting events.

With his wife, Nancy, he loved traveling around the United States, taking numerous cruises (Alaska and Hawaii being his favorites). After he retired from Exxon, they bought a ranch and moved to Seguin, TX. There he raised cattle treating each one as a member of his family.

He has been a long time member and director of Faith Christian Center in Freer and has also regularly attended Northeast Bible Church in Garden Ridge with Ann Gormley.
