Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’m a descendant of one of the 1st pioneers of Gregg County, Tilman Dunn. In 1875, he married in Gregg County where I, the great great grandson and many more of his descendants still reside.

As a father, brother, son, I have 5 siblings of which all, but one, still reside in the district that I am campaigning to represent, TX-1.

My early years were full of triumph where I excelled in just about anything music related. However, tragically, I lost an eye at the age of 6 which kept me out of my beloved football, but that roadblock fueled my athleticism via the 400 meters and the long jump, track & field. A lover of classical music, opera, I studied voice, economics at Texas A&M-Commerce and The University of North Texas. After years of performing as a bass with the Dallas Opera, I entered into the business world as a small businessman in the 90’s where I remain today.
