Neal and his wife Kayla moved back to their home state of Texas in 2008. They live out in the country east of Sherman.

He is a football fan (the Texas Tech Red Raiders…not the Dallas Cowboys), an avid reader and a terrible dancer. If you want to know what he’s thinking about, visit his blog at www.headhunterpov.net.
