Our Trusted Staff

I'm a proud native Houstonian. As a young child, my family relocated to Edinburg, Texas, but we returned to Houston just before I entered high school to support my sister after the tragic loss of her young husband. It was during high school that I met my sweetheart, and we've now been married for 31 wonderful years. Together, we’ve raised three amazing sons and are blessed with two beautiful granddaughters.

For the past 25 years, I’ve dedicated my career to the Funeral & Cemetery Industry. It has been both an honor and a privilege to serve families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. 

I approach every interaction with compassion, empathy, and unwavering integrity, always striving to provide comfort, guidance, and care when it matters most.

I’ve also been a proud member of the Texas Cemetery Crematory Association (TCCA) for over 4 years, continuing to grow both personally and professionally within this meaningful field.

I was born in Lemesa, Texas just south of Lubbock, Texas. My parents raised me in Liberty, Texas which is known as “The First City on the Trinity”. I went through elementary, intermediate and graduated from Liberty High School in 1999. When I was 10 years old, after the death of my grandfather in 1991, I told my parents “Whatever you have to do this, I want to do it” I began reading and researching on the industry. After I graduated, I enrolled in Commonwealth Funeral Institute. I graduated in 2000 and while in school I was afforded the opportunity to work for Earthman Resthaven Funeral Home and Cemetery in 1999. I have been a Funeral Ambassador, Memorial Administrator, Dispatch Supervisor and Location Manager. I am honored to have been in this profession for 27 years. It is always a privilege to serve our client families with the utmost Integrity. I have been in ministry since I was 9 years old and I have been a pastor for more than 17 years in Liberty, Texas.  I am blessed to be married to my soulmate and we have our daughter who is our gift from God.
