That same year there was a bank robbery in which I was able to provide to FBI agents a description of one suspicious person, who became a prime suspect in the robbery. While this was a major event for the small town, life continued to go forward, with sports being the main topic of conversation. Around that same year, the high school was vandalized, and all the high school students became suspects. As an athlete I enjoyed the opportunity to participate in both baseball and basketball and enjoy the fruits of victory while learning valuable lessons through losses.
After high school I attended Oklahoma State University and majored in Sociology. Upon graduation I became involved in state government, primarily working with juvenile delinquents, children of abuse and neglect, and persons afflicted with mental illness. I have lived in Oklahoma City since 1993 and am married to Linda Stecker Smith. I have two biological children, Kimberly Porter-Russell and Keri Lynn Porter-Warmuth as well as two stepchildren, Adam Smith and Allison Smith.
