My name is Terry. I was raised in Houston, Texas, and I still live and work here. Houston is home...my town...the place I always come back to. Even after eight years away in military service, and re-locating a few times with a couple of different jobs, I always come back - and always will.

My career since 1980 has revolved around sales, marketing, and purchasing at every level - consumer, retailer, wholesaler, and manufacturer. I've worked at every level, and I believe my years of experience have helped me develop an understanding of the independent retailer and the every-day consumer.

I spent eight good years in the U. S. Air Force, from 1972 to 1980, and came out a much better person for it. From 1980 to today, I have worked primarily in the hardware industry, starting out in sales, then spending eleven years in purchasing, and then made the decision to go back into sales and marketing in 2004. I now work for an independent sales and marketing firm.

In September, 2001, something very dramatic and heart-breaking happened to our country, and it had an affect on all of us. For me, it was profound, and I felt compelled to do something that for me would be not only positive, but life-altering; so, after much deliberation (and a lot of help and understanding from my friends and family), I re-enlisted in the U. S. Air Force, and am now serving with the 147th Reconnaissance Wing, Texas Air National Guard, Ellington Field. I served in Iraq in 2005, and came home with a much better understanding how conflict affects all of us.

I have attended San Jacinto Junior College, Houston Community College, North Harris County College, and Community College of the Air Force, and hold an Associates of Applied Science degree in Information Management.

All of the website design work I do is on a freelance basis. I still maintain a full-time sales position, and of course I have my National Guard commitment, but this is work that I truly enjoy, and I promise to give your project every possible moment until completion.
