Glendell D. Nix grew up in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. From the ages of 11 to 18 he was a self-taught juggler, unicyclist, and tightrope walker, spending hours a day devoted to his passion. At the age of 12, he began performing his juggling, unicycle, and tightrope walking act in front of small audiences, and eventually in front of large audiences of thousands at events across Oklahoma. He enjoyed the challenge and discipline required.
Glendell always maintained his love for academics and speech competition. While in high school he competed in speech competitions across the state, winning many awards in contemporary speaking, oration, prose, and drama. In 1982, he graduated valedictorian of his high school class. His parents were his biggest supporters and taught him that hard work, discipline, and family were the keys to enjoying life and contributing to others’ lives.
Glendell loves reading, especially history and psychology, OU football and traveling with his life partner, Margaret. With seven children and five grandchildren, there is never a dull moment.
