Ralph's Story
To be truly happy, you would be where, doing what, with whom?
Answer: I would truly be happy living on our ranch in South Texas, working on the ranch to provide better quality habitat for the wildlife. Waking up each morning with my wife Tonia, having a cup of coffee, then driving around the ranch watching the deer.
If I am unable to do this, then my 2nd option would be living on the bay in Corpus Christie. This would be the perfect scenario, since our ranch is only an hour away from Corpus.
As you can see, my passion is my family and the outdoors.
I always wanted to be a Fireman when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a great idea. As it turns out, they were Wrong. I ended up going into Advertising and have been very succesful in doing so, I have been in the business for the past 20 years and have enjoyed working with some of the largest companies around.
My favorite way to blow off steam is to take my Lab "Gracey" for a walk to the pond and throw the ball into the water and have her fetch it. Other than that, sit on my front porch and have a glass of wine.
My hero is my Dad, He is truly one of a kind and I admire him for all of his accomplishments in his life,
I still live in Houston, but have moved out to Cypress Texas where we built a home on a 1-acre lot. It's almost li...Expand for more
ke living in the country.
If I won $100 million, I'd give 10 million of it to American lung association, then spend the rest on a plane, house in New Mexico and a house in Cabo San Lucas.
Yes, had the pleasure of living in a dorm and I became a TKE. That was one of the things that I truly miss is seeing my fellow fraternity brothers. My family takes up most of my time with my son playing baseball with tournement teams and my daughter in competition cheerleading. But I would not have it any other way,
To be truly happy, I would be fishing on my boat, having a cold beer and fishing with my buddies. My friends that I still keep in touch with from High school.
My first true crush, Not sure what happened to her, she got married the same day I got married and she moved to California. Hope she is happy and living well.
My trophies dont sit on a mantel, they hang on the wall in my study room and in my game room, They are all the whitetail deer that I have shot all these past years.
If I had to do one do over, I would have given my true heart to my wife when I first met her than waiting a while till I knew she was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
What I hope old friends would remember me by is that they could always count on me, my love and passion for my family and the outdoors.
