Interests

  • General

    I believe in a life fully lived and work each day to be a better person, for myself, for my family, for my friends and even for strangers that may rely on me to do the best I can. Life is worth living and we should laugh often and love unconditionally. We should learn to love and respect people no matter who they are, what they look like, where they come from, who they love or how they pray...all people deserve respect and dignity. Most of what I have learned in life has come outside the classroom, but I sure enjoyed the lessons there too. I believe in community volunteerism and involvement in causes and purposes that help people. I also loves the outdoors, enjoy travel, boating, water skiing/wake boarding, and especially time spent with family, my two golden retrievers and many awesome friends.

About me:

I have had the honor of serving my fellow citizens. I recently served the State of Oklahoma as a Corporation Commissioner, responsible for regulating oil & gas, public utilities, telecommunications and transportation issues. Governor Brad Henry appointed me to this position effective June 1, 2007 and I am so thankful for the chance to serve. Previously, I was first elected an Oklahoma County Commissioner (District 1) in 2002 and was overwhelmingly re-elected with over 63% of the vote in 2006. Prior to those elections, I served eight years as an attorney at Oklahoma County. Very kind friends made those dreams possible. I am a member of the Oklahoma and Kansas Bar Associations and is a Past-President of the National Association of Civil County Attorneys. I am also a Certified Mediator; can't help it, just want people to get along. ..

    Greetings of the season and the best wishes of the New Year. Here is my blessing to you in hopes that it will inspire what I think is the true meaning of Christmas.


    CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS

    When you’re at your home and your heart is warm there simply is no better time than the holiday season. It is my prayer that this Christmas will be the happiest of time for you and the ones you love. I also hope that the happiness you feel will inspire you and your family to open its heart just a little wider and create at least one miracle of your own. Somewhere close to you, I know there is someone that needs an angel this holiday season. Look around… you will see them. You could be that angel. You don’t have to do something big, just give someone a reason to smile, a reason to feel valued. I guarantee you it will make your holiday season a warmer and happier time.


    Blessings and Happy holidays

    jim,

    i recently took a roadtrip to Kansas City and on the return leg of the trip, saw a "convoy" (4 semis) hauling HAWT blades on I-35 northbound.




    PS you've got my vote!

    Where and what time will the watch party be next Tuesday night?
  • Oct 24 2008 7:58 PM

    OU is so unpredictable these days, who knows what will happen. Kirk and I will be voting early because we believe election day will probably be one of the highest turn-outs in quite a while.
    Good luck, we're pulling for you!

    I enjoyed it and I think it went well. Since starting law school I have missed being politically active.

    Loved the OSU Homecoming parade! The smiles, the handshakes, the enthusiasm, the supporters and of course...the candy!
