Their two children are Bryan, a second year student at Tyler Junior College, and Brittney, a junior at Rusk High School. They reside on CR 1605 near Eas-Texas Farms and Gourmet Gardens. "My wife and I have been married 20 years. Our home is on family land where I grew up," he says. "We are members of East Side Baptist Church and serve as youth directors." He is the son of Gladys Moake and the late James Edward Lankford of Rusk. His mother is a licensed vocational nurse, retired from Rusk State Hospital.
