My wife and I, along with our five boys, have been Oconee County residents since 2017. I was a student athlete at Southeast Missouri State University where I received my undergraduate degree in Business Administration and played college golf. After a short time playing and working in the golf industry, I decided to apply my experiences and knowledge of teaching golf to the public education classroom. In 2006-2007, I started my career in education. I have served students in a variety of classrooms and special education models from high school to middle school. In 2012, I earned my Master of Arts degree in Teaching from Piedmont University.
