Hello! I have lived in Oklahoma all of my life. I grew up in the small town of Okay where I graduated from High School. I attended college at Connor's State College and then Northeastern State University in Tahlequah. I have a passion for helping others that was instilled in me by my Grandma. She is also the one that taught me to work hard for everything. I live in Fort Gibson with my wife Dana and son Preston. I look forward to serving with Muskogee Habitat for Humanity and helping as many local families as I can.

I am a local business owner, accountant, landlord, and community supporter, born and raised in Muskogee!! I am part of the family behind Wood Co Outdoor Living.

Welcome to our board, Kelli!

Hello, my name is Anita White. I was born and raised in Muskogee County along with 8 siblings. My parents taught us to work hard and help our neighbors when needed. I attended NSU in Tahlequah and earned certification in Elementary and Secondary Education in Counseling and Administration. Also, while at NSU, I joined Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, a nonprofit organization which focuses on Public Service. After graduating I joined MAC. I am now a lifetime member. I retired from the education system after 41 years of service and presently help raise my grandson. I joined Habitat because it replicates the same as my Sorority, Public Service. I have worked on a house for an elderly lady who lost everything during a flood as well as well as a new build for a mother & her son. I’ve also helped to fundraise and promote Habitat to the community through the Chocolate Festival. I truly believe that Public Service lies in our daily lives at every turn! -Anita

John is retired from his career at OG&E where he served in engineering and management for 39 years. He holds a Bachelors of Science degree in Electrical Engineering as well as an MBA.

I worked in the commercial construction industry from 1998 to 2008. I then moved into residential construction at the end of 2008. During my years working in residential construction I also started firefighting, fighting wildfire for the Bureau of Indian Affairs. I started my fire career with Brushy Mountain Fire Department in 2014
as a volunteer. In 2017 I started with Cherokee Nation Wildland Fire
Program to pursue a career in wildland fire. Since being in the program I have worked on a fire suppression module and a type 6 engine before earning my title as Incident Commander in 2018. I have learned skills in emergency and wildlife management, communication and leadership, first responder skills, and more.I love helping the community and protecting others. After much thought I decided that with my 25 years experience in the construction industry combined with having a desire to make sure others are protected, I found that inspecting homes and property was my dream career.
