Simmons lives with his family in Boerne, Texas just north of San Antonio. Originally from Farmington in northwest New Mexico, he spent his childhood there until attending NM Tech and Colorado School of Mines for technical degrees. Over the past 27 years he has served as the President/Owner of an industrial water treatment company serving various clients around the world. His motivation for writing is rooted in his desire to pass something of value on to his family and friends, and hopefully in doing so to spur a sincere laugh, or smile, from the expression of his love for the simple humor of life. He has found and continues to find that timeless comedy in his life-long enjoyment of "The Andy Griffith Show" and often how the misfortune, or fortune, of its characters compares to those he has experienced in his own life.ver menos
