b'Merry Celebrations!The Lacy FamilyWhile working at Sandia National Laboratories, Davey enrolled in a masters program offered by NMSU in Albuquerque. During this time, Davey was married his high school sweetheart, Randi Mariscal. The next year, Davey and Randi had their first child, a daughter named Destiny. Davey and Randi decided that they wanted to raise their family closer to their extended family, so they moved back to Artesia in July 2012. Davey then went to work for Yates Petroleum Corporation in Artesia, where he held positions as Se-nior Financial Analyst, Financial Reporting and SOX Compliance Manager, and Enertia Accounting Software Team Lead. He also received his Masters in General Business Administration from NMSU in August 2012. In 2014, Davey and Randi welcomed their second child, David R. Juarez III into their home. About this same time, Davey was promoted to Financial Reporting Manager, and was asked to lead a multi-discipline team in implementing new accounting software.When Yates Petroleum was purchased by EOG Resources in 2016, Davey transitioned into a Financial Accounting Manager position, where he continues to work today. Keep-ing active in his industry, Davey is a member of the Council of Petroleum Accountants Societies, the Petroleum Society Accountants of New Mexico, the New Mexico Society of CPAs, and the New Mexico Chapter of the Institute of Internal Auditors.Davey and Randis children are now eight and five and keep their parents busy with school and sports. In their free time, the family enjoys spending timer at the local lakes, fishing or playing water sports. Davey wrote: I want to send a big thank you to WPMA and its members for providing me the financial backing to make it through the majority of my college career. The generosity given to me really gave me the help to focus my at-tention on my academics versus the financial stress of figuring how to pay for college.It is impressive to see how Davey has set high goals for himself since high school, and has continually achieved those goals through his persistence, hard work, and dedication to his education. We wish the best of luck to Davey, Randi and their beautiful little fam-ily in the future. SWPMA News / Winter 201965'
