Danny and Christy first met in the seventh grade at Pine Tree Middle School in Longview, Texas in 1983. They dated throughout High School and later married in 1991 during their Sophomore year of college. They both graduated from the University of Texas at Tyler; Danny with a B.B.A. in Finance and Accounting and Christy with a B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies and her teaching certificate. After graduation they moved to Waco where Danny pursued a Masters of Business Administration at Baylor while Christy started her teaching career at Crestview Elementary in Waco ISD..
The family expansion began in 1995 with the birth of their first daughter, Ashley. Elizabeth came along in 1998 later joined by Ryan in 2001. By this time, the family had moved to Allen, Texas (1999) where they currently reside. Today, Danny is a Partner and Senior Portfolio Manager at Lee Financial, a wealth management and financial planning firm based in Dallas. Christy continued her teaching career at Allen ISD teaching ELA/Gifted and Talented classes at Story Elementary (3rd and 6th grade) and Ford Middle School (7th grade). Christy is currently a graduate student at the University of Texas at Tyler working toward her Masters of Curriculum and Instruction
Danny and Christy feel passionately about paying forward the blessings and support they have received along their life journey. Theirs has not been a walk taken alone, but rather filled with family, friends, and Faith that have provided support, guidance, wisdom, encouragement, loving rebuke, gas money, and at times even the basic meal and place to stay. No people have been more impactful than their parents and sisters who have been a constant source of support, love, fun, laughter, and models for sharing God’s love to others.
