Where Are They Now? â Brian Bachman, Class of 2003
Brian Bachman, a 2003 graduate of DCLA, has built a life rooted in entrepreneurship and community impact. He manages rental properties and co-owns Oklahoma Swim Academy, turning vision into opportunity through business and investing.
Reflecting on his roots, Brian says:
âDCLA was the village that raised me. When my dad worked two jobs and my mom got sick, neighbors stepped in to care for my youngest brother Barry. When I was in elementary and played basketball on dirt, the community came together and poured concrete for a court. That kind of sacrifice and teamwork is what small towns are all about.â
Brian lives by a personal philosophy of growth:
Hope â believing tomorrow will be better than today
Vision â having a plan
Action â executing that plan
He believes that with those ingredients, the Deer Creek-Lamont community can continue to survive and thriveâtogether.

Here is the schedule for the Grant County Free Fair in 2 weeks! Please remember if there is a chance your student will show anything in the Spring, they have to have an exhibit in the fall fair!! The safest plan is to exhibit something! If you have questions or need help entering, email or call Mrs. Junghanns.
Where Are They Now: Laura (Peters) Taylor
Laura (Peters) Taylor graduated from DCLA in 1995. She received an Associate of Science degree from Northern Oklahoma College in 1997. She then attended pharmacy school at Southwestern Oklahoma State University, where she graduated with a Pharm.D. degree in 2001.
Laura and her husband, Scott Taylor, met at SWOSU and were married in 2000. Life took them to Edmond, OK, Atlanta, GA, and eventually to Goddard, KS. Laura has worked in various pharmacy settings, including retail, HMO, long-term care, and independent pharmacies. She has held roles as staff pharmacist, consultant pharmacist, and pharmacist in charge.
Laura grew up learning creative skills, such as woodworking and sewing, from her parents and through a high school summer job. She has continued to build, sew, and create on the side over the years. In January 2025, she stepped back from pharmacy to start a laser engraving business. She has enjoyed both the creative process and the extra time with her family. She continues to be employed as a pharmacist on an as-needed basis for a couple of closed-door pharmacies.
She and Scott have two children. Braden graduated from high school in 2025 and will attend Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, Oklahoma, on both academic and golf scholarships. Ellison (Ellie) will be a junior in high school, loves to barrel race, and aspires to become a veterinarian specializing in large animals.
