The opportunity to work with Worthen Bank brought my family

What do you love most about working and living in
Faulkner County? Conway is a great place to raise a family.
It’s a wonderful, business-minded, progressive community with
various opportunities for professional and personal growth. The
three colleges in town enhance the quality of life for all of us in
Faulkner County.
Do you have hobbies you want to share? I enjoy outdoor
activities, especially deer and duck hunting in the fall, and
turkey hunting in the spring. I belong to a hunting club in south
Arkansas of which I have been a part of for over 30 years. I
always anticipate the fall hunting season when I am able to enjoy
close friends and family in the outdoors.
Tell us about your family. My wife, Kelly, is a retired
Conway Public School teacher and is currently an adjunct
instructor for Central Baptist College here in Conway. We have
a daughter, Kati, who is a teacher in the Vilonia Public School
System. She is married to Justin Collier, and they have a blended
family of six children, Ethan, Blake, Julianne, Ryder, Chase
and Logan. My son, Garrett, works as a supervisor for a local
construction company.
Who was your biggest life influence? My Uncle, my dad’s
brother. He was a quiet and selfless leader. You never heard him
complain, and he was always available to give a helping hand to
those in need, always putting the needs of others before his own.
He was truly a spiritual and servant leader.
What does the future hold for you in Faulkner County?
Kelly and I would like to eventually retire someday right here in
Faulkner County. We enjoy being involved in all the activities of
our children and grandchildren. We love life in Faulkner County!
