President and Owner of Midwest Music, with locations in Enid and Weatherford, Oklahoma. Married to certified clinical nutritionist Terri Hurst who has doctorates in Pharmacy and Naturalpathic Medicine. We are members of the Wesley United Methodist Church and remain active in the chancel choir.
We both enjoy our three children and four grandchildren, but have recently spent most of our time restoring an 1890's historic home in El Reno. We still find time to visit our farm and hope to find some time to even enjoy a little fishing and hunting, someday....
