In case you were curious, here's a little information about myself.

I was born in Mesa, Arizona, and spent most of my youth in California and Montana. I graduated from Western Montana College and earned my Master's degree in Education through Walden University. I am currently working on my doctoral degree (Ed. D.) through Walden as well.

I have been teaching 8th grade American History at TRMS for the past 14 years. Before I came to Tennessee, I taught for three years on an Indian reservation in Montana. I was the High School history teacher, as well as the J. V. Boy's Basketball coach, and Head Girl's Basketball coach.

My wife Sherrie and I have a terrific daughter, Chelsey, who got married over the summer.

Some of my hobbies include following the 6 time Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers during the NFL season, playing chess whenever I can find an opponent, and fishing when the weather is nice.
