I am a third generation native Arizonan and a fourth generation Arizona agricultural entrepreneur. I began working on the family farm at an early age and always knew that I wanted to be a farmer. In 1974 I graduated from the University of Arizona with a B.S. in Agriculture and Agriculture Economics. In 1990 I earned an MBA from the University of Phoenix. I have owned and operated William K. Perry Farms for 40 years. In 2005 I also went into the business of owning and operating commercial real estate, including office and retail centers. 

I have served as a member of the Board of Directors for the Buckeye Irrigation District, the Liberty Gin Cooperative, the Paloma Irrigation and Drainage District and the Franciscan Renewal Center.

In1995, I was elected by the Maricopa County voters to serve on the Board of Directors of the Central Arizona Project for two six year terms. During this time, I served as the Secretary for two years, the Vice President for two years and the President during my final two years.

In 2017 and 2018 I served as the President for the Board of Directors of the Arizona Country Club. 

I currently serve as the Vice President of the Board of Directors for the Harquahala Valley Irrigation District and the Chairman of the USDA Arizona State Farm Service Agency Committee.
