The candidate was born May 7, 1944, in Memphis, Hall County, Texas to Peyton and Leo Fullingim, a Baptist minister and wife. He was raised in a series of small Texas towns where his father was pastor of the local Baptist church. The family returned to Lubbock in the 1960s and Fullingim graduated from Lubbock High School in 1962. He graduated from Texas Tech in 1966 and accepted a commission as an officer in the U.S. Army, serving two years on active duty, one of which was spent in Korea. His first professional job was with Random House/Alfred A. Knopf publishing firm in New York, followed by work in collegiate public relations in the Houston area. He built on these skills to become a communications executive employed by energy and oilfield service firms in Houston and Dallas, followed by a 15-year career with world-famous Aramco in Saudi Arabia. He was a registered lobbyist with both the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate in the 1980s presenting information and viewpoints of the energy industry to members of the House and Senate. Fullingim is the husband of one wife, Frances Yvonne Butler, since 1970 and they have one married daughter.
