Director of Advance Planning

The greatest reward we can give anyone is love. Through love we give of ourselves, and we realize serving others is the ultimate gift. I did not realize the magnitude of that till I had the pleasure to join the FRENCH Family in 2011 as their Director of Advance Planning. I came to know New Mexico via the USAF and getting stationed here at Kirtland AFB. After many years in the corporate world I was blessed to be part of this family purely through an act of God. I attended UNM and received my B.S.B.A. from the University of Albuquerque. I fell in love with New Mexico and enjoyed the people, culture, and lots of chili. Working with FRENCH has allowed me to serve to others and serve our community and enjoy meeting so many people. My wife (Cindy) and I have 4 children and 9 grandchildren and love to spoil them! Each day I come to do what I love and at the end of the day, my day is complete, and I am filled with gratitude. I tell everyone “I wish I had done this 30 years ago”.
