I have been very blessed to have had the call of God in my life for almost as long as I can remember. I acknowledged Christ as my savior at the age of 10 and have been attending church since then and have been in some sort of service since a young adult. After moving to Dallas in 1983, I began attending Prestonwood Baptist church and soon thereafter was elected a Deacon. In 1988 I served as Chairman of the Stewardship campaign. After moving to Legacy Baptist Church in the early 90’s, I served on their Finance and Leadership Teams from 2002 to 2016. Further, in 2017 I was elected to the Board of Governors of BH Carroll Theological Seminary, for which I now serve as Board Chairman.

My Christian walk has been consistent but not without struggles. Due to personal and career challenges, in early 2002 I found myself at a crossroad, struggling with the boundaries of my control contrasting with my submission. This could also be described as a conflict of strong will versus humility. Fortunately, God’s grace and faithful love guided me through an 18 month period of reflection, searching and breaking my will. I emerged with a renewed and strengthened commitment to servant leadership, which has resulted in a greater abundance of peace and joy.

I have always been very faithful in my belief in stewardship of my resources, built upon a belief that all I have has been provided by God (I Cor 4:7). My desire to serve on the board of Ideal Impact is based upon an extension of my commitment to stewardship, wanting to be of obedient when I am called to service.

In terms of my business career, I graduated Cum Laude from Baylor University in 1977 with a BBA in Accounting. I attained my CPA the year following graduation. I worked in public accounting for 4 years and have been in private industry since 1981. My focus has been in manufacturing, although I have experience in both distribution and software as well. During my career, I have served as CFO of two public companies and have been involved in over 20 acquisitions and divestitures. I have also served under a board structure for the past 25 years, both in public and private companies. As such, I am very familiar with what makes a strong, engaged and valued board member, and what responsibilities I would be held to in my position on the board and Ideal Impact. I currently own 50% of a local company, and combining that responsibility with being in senior leadership for over 30 years, I am very experienced in setting strategic goals and making difficult decisions.

I currently serve as SVP & CFO of Presco Polymer, Inc. which is owned by the private equity firm River Associates located in Chattanooga, TN. During my career I have served on the follow professional boards:

• Heart of Texas Lions Club Governing Board
• UTA’s Accounting Advisory Board,
• American Electronic Association’s National Small Business Advisory Board,
• South Florida chapter of the Financial Executive International (FEI) Board; and
• Steering Committee of the FEI Dallas Chapter Manufacturing CFO’s Special Interest Group.

I am married to Tracy Chisum and am blessed with three children and six grandchildren. My personal interests include fitness training and golf, as well as traveling with my wife and spending time with my family.
