My Why:


I credit my career in education to a wonderful lady who has passed on, Mrs. Eva Hinshaw.  She was a good friend of our family and approached me with an opportunity to teach Junior High Science one summer.  I gave her every reason in the world why I should not do it, but she said she thought I would be a great fit.  I guess she saw something in me that I could not see in myself.  After all these years, it has been the best career decision I have ever made.  What she did for me is why I do this job every day.  I love seeing potential in one of my students that they themselves do not see and working with them to achieve great things.  Education is a key that can unlock so many doors.  Every student deserves the best education we can provide no matter their personal circumstances.   I always wanted a career where I could help people and really make a difference; education is the perfect fit!    
 

About Me:

I have been happily married to my beautiful wife Kristin since 1999.  We have 3 wonderful children; Adalyn, Rafe, and Pacey.  I am an active member at Elm Street Baptist Church where I am involved teaching 3/4 Grade Sunday School and working with our Youth Program.  In my free time I enjoy hunting, fishing, and watching my children in their various extracurricular activities.
