I was born to the late Charles Buck and Sharon Hale in Andrews, TX 1972. My dad was a student at the Sunset School of Preaching (now SIBI) in Lubbock, TX at the time of my birth. My dad was a faithful minister for 24 years and passed in 1996. My mother also passed from this life in 1998. I have a brother who has served as the pulpit minister for the Lytle Church of Christ, as Missionary to Estonia and currently serves as pulpit minister at the Nor-Dan Church of Christ in Danville, VA.

I graduated from Nueces Canyon High School in 1991 and attended Southwest Texas Junior College were I received by AA degree.

It was during this time I married my High School Sweetheart Deborah Dockal. Upon
gradation from Junior College we attended Sul Ross State University were I received my BA in Composite Social Sciences with Teacher Certification and my wife, Debbie also her BA in the teaching field as well (Her major was math). I taught 7th and 8th grade History with the Uvalde CISD for five years. During the last year of teaching I made the decision to start working with our Churches (Getty St.) youth.

After completing a year with the church in Uvalde, TX, my wife and I decided to move our family to Lubbock, TX so I could attend the Sunset International Bible Institute. Graduating in 2002, I became the full time youth minister with the Birdwell Lane congregation in Big Spring, TX. I had spent the last year at Sunset working as the part-time youth minister at the Birdwell Lane congregation. After one year of part-time and 2 years of full time we decided to move to Sherman, TX and work with the Parkview Family. It has been a great and wonderful experience. I enjoy the area, town and the Christian family here at Parkview. Debbie and I have two wonderful children, Preslie (daughter) and Pierce (son). Both attend the Sherman school district and enjoy going to school and more importantly Church activities.
