Stephen's Story
Life
I have lived within 70 to 80 miles of Houston for most of the time since SHHS, except for 6 months or so in Florida, and a year in West Texas. I received both my Bachelors and Masters degrees from Sam Houston State University in Huntsville.
I also met my wife, Donna, there. We have been married 28 years and have 2 kids. Sara is a graduate student at Sam Houston State, Seth is a freshman / sophomore also at SHSU. Donna teaches second grade in Bellville, where we bought our home in 1985. We are currently involved in building a new building for our church, Mill Creek Church, here in Bellville. When Donna retires in 3 to 5 years we plan to relocate to Walker County, somewhere north x north-west of Huntsville.

I got out of the natural gas business for about a year, but returned to Tenneco in 1995 ... just in time to see their energy assets purchased by El Paso Corporation.
I am building a contract grazing organization at this time, using leased land. I am also starting to select animals for a herd of cattle to produce grass finished beef for the Houston niche market.
Other than that it is working with kids, horses and cattle, all life-long passions.
