Hello! My name is Tyson and my wife is Melissa. We have lived in Southwest Arkansas since January of 2003.
Before that we lived in Northeast Louisiana where we have many good friends. I was born in Louisiana, raised in Oklahoma, and my wife was born and raised in Louisiana. We have been married since August of 2002 and have six beautiful children. We are members of the Pleasant Valley Mennonite Church, at Bradley and would like to invite you to come worship with us. There are many misconceptions about Mennonites. Most people that visit our congregation really enjoy it- although they may not be ready to change their lifestyle, we may not be as different as you think. Everyone is welcome and although we dress in our Sunday best you can dress how you like!
We have a small acreage here with a pasture and a few cows. I have been working with the catfish industry for close to 12 years. For 10 years or so I worked on a seining crew harvesting catfish. During 8 summer months of the year I check the water quality in the catfish ponds here in Southwest Arkansas. I also work on aerators, irrigation monitors, and pond monitoring systems, that keep track of the dissolved oxygen and water temperature and automatically turn aerators on and off when needed.
