A native of Texas, I've called Parker County home since June of 2018. In my early years, I became interested in fish keeping and the study of ichthyology. I aim to contribute a new and innovative educational resource to our community: a public aquarium that breaks from conventional designs and offers a fresh, engaging approach to learning. To ensure the success of the Parker County Aquarium, I am fully committed to fostering a culture of creative thinking that goes beyond conventional approaches.
