We are overjoyed to announce that we have a new college graduate in the family! Jason graduated from Texas Tech this month with a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural and Applied Economics! We are so proud of him!
Jason was nervous about going to college - no one in his family had even attempted it before - but he was determined to make his dreams of building a successful career come true. In 2007, Jason moved back to our College and Career campus and completed his basic coursework at community college, and he transferred to Texas Tech in 2009. Jason has persevered through some very hard times and overcome many challenges...and we have been there with support and encouragement every step of the way. His hard work paid off this month when he graduated from Texas Tech University with a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural and Applied Economics! We were there cheering him on as he walked across the stage for his degree, just as we were there 10 years ago when he graduated from high school. He has already set up interviews with several companies in Houston where he will be able to apply all that he has learned. We know that the sky is the limit for this determined young man!

Jason first joined our family in 1993, when he was 12 years old. He won our hearts with his big smile. He'd always loved animals so he quickly got in helping around the ranch. He graduated from Waller High School in 2001 and went to a technical school in South Texas, where he received a technical degree in Agribusiness the next year. He ended up working for a company in Abilene. He was doing very well with his entry-level position, but he knew he could do more. He met with his boss to discuss the possibility of becoming a manager. Jason's boss told him that he was a great employee, but he pointed to his own college ring and said, "When you've got one of these, come talk to me." At that time, Jason returned to our area and he worked on our ranch for the next year and a half, while he tried to figure things out.
