From climbing trees in rural Missouri as a child to soaring above them as a US Air Force fighter pilot, Ray Potts proves that we create our destinies no matter where we come from. With the support of his wife, Pat, Ray went on to pursue a career in oil and gas, eventually starting his own company-Potts Exploration. Their success in the industry paved the way for the Potts to give back to their community by supporting local nonprofits and eventually developing their own nonprofit-The Potts Family Foundation.

Filled with insights from the Potts' decades of service to the people of Oklahoma, Bridging the Gap details memorable experiences and people they encountered along the way. This book is the culmination of their lives, from childhood through retirement. The juxtaposition of their upbringings highlights how opposites can attract and have surprisingly more in common than expected. This is the story of their lifelong partnership, both in love and business.

Bridging the Gap provides nine valuable lessons that Ray and Pat wish to impart to future generations. Their hope is that readers will recognize the importance of community involvement, helping others, and leaving the world a better place.
