1. What did you do immediately after high school?
Went to Pitt State for a little while and then realized that school just wasn't my thing and I wanted to get back out to the farm.
2. What kind of work do you do? Where do you work?
I managed a bank for about 2 and half years and decided that I didn't like dealing with the public and their money.....they can get pretty snotty when it comes to their money,.......I am currently employed at Nutra Blend, LLC. here in good ol' Neosho. I have been there 4 years and love it. I do some feed formulation work and some customer service work for them.
3. Where have you lived since high-school graduation?
I moved to Pittsburg, KS. for a while and then when I decided school wasn't for me, I came back to live with my parents for a while. After Sarah and I got married, we bought a house in Neosho and still live there.
4. Name of significant other? How did you meet your significant other?
Sarah Kluender. We dated for a year and a half when I was in 8th grade and then the Lord above brought us back together in December of 2001. We have been married since March 8th of 2003. Sarah will be happy that I actually remembered the date!!!! She is the best!
5. Do you have any children? Tell us about them.
We have 2 wonderful boys, Logan is 4 1/2, soon to turn 5 in June and Landon is 1 1/2, and will be 2 in October. They are the greatest thing that has ever happened to me,.....well I would have to include my wife in there as well, but you get the point. Logan loves music!!!! He is a huge Eric Clapton fan, along with numerous others......Heart, Zeppelin, ZZ Top, and the list keeps going on and on. He loves Guitar Hero and Rock Band. He also loves anything that has to do with farming......and riding 4 wheelers!!!
Landon is just a pistol! He reminds Sarah and I of the sea gulls off of Finding Nemo.....mine, mine, mine, mine.....you get the point. He is wonderful though. He is just now starting to get his own little personality.......and I think he is going to give us a run for our money. They are both the best though.
6. What is your favorite high-school memory?
Wow. There are so many of them. High School was great. From the creek parties, to getting painted up for the football games to playing "socky" in the Hughes's basement and breaking my toe on the concrete wall and painting Senior Hill with Big Poppa Joe and Jake. I think just the friendships that I made throughout high school was the greatest memory.
7. What did you hate most about high school?
Waking up in the morning to go.......not a big morning person, unless it comes to hunting season.
8. If you could do high school all over again, what would you do differently?
I think that I probably judged to many people by their cover. I have learned that only the Lord above can do that. I would probably try to be a little bit nicer to everyone, not just my "group" of friends.
9. If you could, what would you change about yourself since high-school graduation?
I don't think I would change anything. The things I have gone through have made me who I am today.
10. What is one thing you wish you’d known ten years ago?
That all the money in the world cannot make you happy. Having a wonderful family and friends and also a relationship with God. That is what makes you happy, and that is the only thing that will ever make you happy.
11. What is one goal you’d like to accomplish in the next ten years?
Just to be the best Father and best Husband that I can be. I think if I do this, then I will have accomplished everything that matters.
12. Are you coming to the NHS reunion? If so, what are you most looking forward to?
Yes, I will be there! I am looking forward to seeing people that I haven't seen in years. Just getting to catch up with everyone will be great. See you soon!
