For the last fifteen years, Joe White has been the Ellis County Engineer. Today was his last day with us. I was approached by Judy Armstrong (Head of Department of Development) and Debbie M. (Worked with Joe in engineering) to make a knife for Joe. Over the years Joe and I have had several conversations centered around our common interest of knives. I committed to making a knife for Joe. The handle is made of desert ironwood and the blade steel is 52100. My wife, Mary Hinds made the sheath. We are proud of the way it turned out. I believe Joe was pretty happy too. I wish Joe and his nice wife, Jan godspeed in what ever endeavors they choose from here.
About 1K Ton Goal Project
I am an Assistant District Attorney the Dallas County District Attorney's Office. On November 20, 2017, Comedian Bert Kreischer inspired me to start a weight loss journey. I started the journey at 475 pounds. Through Bert's support, Professional Wrestling Hall of Famer and Fitness Legend, Diamond Dallas Page, I reached changed my life. DDP Yoga and Nutrition helped me lose over 240 pounds and increased the quality of my daily life, every day. It is my goal to inspire 10,000 people to lose 200 pounds. If successful, I will help remove 2,000,000 pounds from this planet. Another way to say 2 million is 1,000 tons (10,000 x 200). Hence the name, 1K Ton. Welcome to the 1K Ton Goal Project.
