About the Teacher
Education
* I attended school from 1st through 12th grade in Olive Branch.
* I went to Northwest Community College for 2 years, then Ole Miss for another 2 years. I graduated with a degree in Elementary Education.
* I taught for 3 years until I returned to Ole Miss to earn my masters degree in Educational Leadership.
Experience
* I started teaching 5th grade at OBIS in 1997.
* I taught for 3 years and returned to Ole Miss to get a master's degree in Educational Leadership.
* After earning this degree, I taught 5th grade at OBIS for several more years, until getting a position as assistant principal at the newly opening Overpark Elementary. I was assistant principal for a year and a half. I left my position there to return to teaching. I spent the other half of the school year as a homebound teacher in the district.
* I was fortunate enough to return to OBIS for a 3rd time and now I am here at CTCE!
* Overall, this is my 24th year in education.
Bio
* My wife, Ashley, is the Health Sciences teacher at the Career Tech Center in Olive Branch. We have two boys. Aiden, who is an 11th grader at Lewisburg High School. Brooks, who is a 7th grader at Lewisburg Middle School.
* I enjoy doing things with my family, watching sports, and hunting and fishing when I get the chance. I love to take trips to Florida where we go to the beach and to one of our favorite spots Disney World.
