OCA Board Members

I am currently the assistant girls’ basketball and boys track coach at MacArthur HS in Lawton. With 44 years of coaching experience spanning from Class B to 5A, one of the most important responsibilities is mentoring young people and helping them to reach their full potential. I feel truly blessed and honored to serve the coaches of Oklahoma as the 2025-26 President. I have served on advisory boards and committees in Basketball, Track and Fast Pitch Softball. My mother has retired in Mangum. I have 3 brothers: Bryan and his wife Tammy who live in Wichita Falls, TX; Preston and wife Shelly who live in Dallas, Tx and Steve who lives in Tampa, Fla, along with several nieces and nephews.
