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.
