Sparks talks about his energy policy and how the oil and gas industry is vital to our economy and energy future.
He is president of Discovery Operating, Inc, a family owned and operated oil and gas company in Midland that has created hundreds of local jobs over almost fifty years.
Sparks says he and his wife Jill understand that strong communities do not exist by accident, which is why they have quietly invested in their community for over thirty years as Young Life and church leaders and board members of local nonprofits.
The Sparks are also small group leaders to young couples rearing their own families. They have four adult children and are active members of Stonegate Fellowship Church where he currently serves as an elder.
