I was born and raised in Victoria, TX, where I graduated as a Stingaree from Victoria High School in 1990.  A couple years later I moved to the Dallas area.  During that time I earned a bachelors in accounting from UT-Dallas and met the mother of my four beautiful, brainiac teenage/near-teen daughters.  We moved to San Antonio in April 2000.

I worked for Tesoro Corporation (later Andeavor and Marathon) from 2000-2007, and then Pioneer Energy Services, where I have been since January 2008, handling the fixed assets systems on the financial side.  During my time at Tesoro, I earned a masters in economics from UTSA in 2006. 

After starting off in the spring semester of 2014 at my alma mater, I've been teaching economics during the evenings at Northwest Vista College (part of the Alamo Colleges District) since the fall of that year. 

I am the lucky husband of a diligent, focused wife, to whom I've been married almost four years.  My oldest daughter, the first assistant drum major in the Warrior band, is set to graduate Warren High School with honors in June.  Her next oldest sister is a sophomore there, where she's on the varsity color guard squad.  

She will be joined at Warren next year by her next youngest sister, who was recently recognized as the top 8th grade student at Jordan Middle School.  And that is where the youngest of the bunch, currently a 5th grader at Raba Elementary, will matriculate next year to carry on the sibling legacy of academic excellence.  

When I'm not hanging out with my wife and girls, or running them around to their various school-related activities or otherwise, I like to freelance write for various publications, most often RealClearMarkets, The American Spectator, Mises Institute/Wire and the San Antonio Express-News.

When I put my brain on total pause, I like to read, listen to heavy metal, watch the "Great British Baking Show" or play my bass guitar.

Mr. De Leon, thank you for reaching out, and the kind words. How can I get directly in touch with you? I've looked up a couple of these associations you mention. Also, I attempted to make contact via Facebook as soon as I saw this message yesterday.
I'll keep looking.

Regards,
Chris

    I have worked in oil & gas for 20+ years, including the 21st century energy renaissance in Texas.  I have taught economics to local college students since 2014.  I am sending 4 wonderful daughters out into the world, starting my first high school graduate this June (summa cum laude, no less). I ran for San Antonio City Council in Spring 2021.
    To see where my mind is at, check me out at RealClearMarkets, Mises Wire, The American Spectator, the Foundation for Economic Education, and the San Antonio Express-News, among other.
