s year, 2010, from THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, AUSTIN with a degree in Cell and Molecular Biology.
My family and I visit Panama on a regular basis and love to see the changes that have occurred over the years. It is not the Panama we grew up with but it is pretty nice. Retirement is looming and my wife and I are contemplating going back. We shall see.
I keep myself occupied when not working for Mother Exxon by being the Director of Coaching and Training for a medium sized soccer club in the Houston area. I train kids from 4 yrs of age to adults. I am constantly on the soccer fields instructing and coaching and I live for the Houston Dynamo Home games. Soccer has been, is and will be my passion so Houston is the perfect spot for me. I just got to see Man U play the MLS All-Stars in Reliant Stadium. WOW! World Cup 2018 here we come.
