    Pharmacology   I   Pharmacy Technician Practicum I & II

    I am an Oklahoma boy that recently moved to Keller, TX from Oklahoma City, OK in October 2021.  I graduated with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Southwestern Oklahoma State University in 2001.  I have worked 10 years of retail pharmacy and spent approximately 20 years in inpatient pharmacy at the Oklahoma Heart Hospital.  While at the hospital, I worked for the clinical pharmacy department, staffed the centralized pharmacy, prepared sterile and non-sterile compounded medications, and was the department manager for the last 7 years.  I have always been interested in teaching, but I had never found a facility that I would have wanted to teach until I learned about KCAL.  Outside of work, I enjoy golfing,  snowboarding, and watching the Dallas Cowboys or the OKC Thunder!!!
