He graduated from Texas Tech with a degree in horticulture and education. He was a middle school teacher in Lubbock, TX. He was also a Lubbock firefighter.  Reb was named into the Eagle Clan.

Reb celebrated everything beautiful God has made and captured it in his photography, writing and gardening.
