I graduated from The University of Georgia in 2011 with a B.B.A. in Risk Management and a B.S.Ed. in Sport Management. The first three years of my career, I worked as an IT project manager. Since transitioning to a career in education in 2014, I have worked in Whitfield County and Gwinnett County while coaching wrestling and the mock trial team. I have also obtained a master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction and a specialist's degree in Teacher Leadership. I have two wonderful children and my wife, Mia Allen, also works at North Oconee.
