I have known Lewis Moore since 1977 when he and I worked as Rangers, teaching backpacking, at the Boy Scouts of America’s ultimate high adventure base–Philmont Scout Ranch. From those early days fresh out of high school we kept in touch throughout our military careers and later as we both faced challenges raising children and keeping our careers on track. Because of my experiences with Lewis throughout the years, I handpicked him to help improve some key processes and increase the membership of the 2500 member non-profit service organization (the Philmont Staff Association) that I lead. I have been consistently pleased with his strong work and outstanding results he delivers on every task he attempts.

I was lucky enough to call Oklahoma home for three years as I flew on the E-3 AWACS out of Tinker AFB. I know and love the strong people of Oklahoma and know that Lewis is the kind of strong leader that doesn’t hesitate to step up and do the right thing–no matter how difficult. Lewis is the person to represent the people of H96–and I am proud to endorse him.
