After graduating from Elizabethtown High School, I attended the University of Louisville.  I found myself gravitating towards the Humanities department, especially the literature courses.  While enrolled at U of L, I was accepted into Sigma Tau Delta and the Golden Key International Honor Society.  After a sudden move to Texas, I finished my Bachelor of Arts at Sam Houston State University (English major and Spanish minor).

This will be my 17th year teaching at NCHS.  I will have the AP III and AP IV English classes, and I am also the yearbook sponsor.

I have been married for 18 years, and my wife and I have 5 children.
