Tres began school at Campbellton Elementary and graduated from Pleasanton High School in 1989. During school and after graduation, Tres worked on several large ranches including the 74 Ranch in Campbellton, The Ladder Ranch in New Mexico and the Escalera Ranch in Ft. Stockton for the Lyda family, as well as many other local farmers and ranchers.
Tres was proudly involved in all aspects of his sons' lives, including Pop Warner Football, Baseball League, Brush County Youth Rodeo, Texas High School Rodeo, college rodeo and many years of Atascosa County Livestock Show. Tres was also proud of his daughter's achievements, graduating magna cum laude, volleyball, cheerleading, show lambs and now, radiology school.
