TM Sharp was raised in the small town of Clayton in Northeastern New Mexico. Since it was a ranching community it was only appropriate for TM to round up all the neighbor’s dogs and cats and set up a stockyard in his back yard. The life lesson was that while dogs and cats are fun to play with, the clean up caused a career outlook change. Always appreciating a sense of humor, TM knew that his father couldn’t be serious when he recommended a long term association with a stable company like Mountain Bell. Consequently the trip through college included majors in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering and finally Government. Consistent with his educational background, TM pursued a career in Real Estate and related services in New Mexico and Oklahoma. The career has included real estate sales, title insurance, construction, specialty publishing and video productions. TM and his wife Nikki reside in Guthrie, Oklahoma. [email protected]
