I am a husband, father, lawyer and blogger. I was born and raised in Roscoe, Texas, home of the largest wind energy farm in the world. I graduated from Roscoe High School in 1992.
I attended Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, where I majored in political science and communication and graduated in 1996 with a Bachelor of Arts (BA).
After college, I went to law school at Texas Tech University, School of Law, and I graduated with a Juris Doctor (JD) in 1999.
Since graduating from law school and being licensed, I have practiced law in Sweetwater, Nolan County, and the surrounding area. I have also taught public speaking and business law as an adjunct faculty member at Western Texas College.
I am married to Lorin Lopez, who is the Children's Pastor at Emmanuel Fellowship Church, where we attend. Lorin also teaches at Cornerstone Christian Preschool. We have one daugher, Libby, a dog named Oliver and a cat named Panda. We make our home in Sweetwater, Nolan County, Texas. Nolan County is the "Wind Energy Capital of the World."
I also lead a Bible study at our church and publish a Bible blog which is consistently ranked in the top 10 among most popular Bible studies blogs.
