Mr. Jackson 

.... is originally from Michigan and went to Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI. He graduated with a Biology major & Teaching Science minor while playing college lacrosse and studying abroad in India, Hawaii and northern Michigan.  He recently finished his Masters of Chemistry Education from Western Governors University in2021. He taught middle school science in North Carolina for 9 years.  

During his teaching career he has had the honor of coaching high school lacrosse, middle school soccer, and leading numerous clubs and activities. In 2010-16, Mr. Jackson opened up an outdoor, on-location portrait photography business as a creative outlet to teaching.  In 2016 he moved his family to Oregon to help start a home school based charter school alongside his wife.  His recent move to Travelers Rest in 2021 was motivated by being closer to family for his 3 young boys (Josiah, Liam, and Titus) to play with their cousins.

Mr. Jackson has always been a teacher, starting as early as middle school, volunteering as a tutor and special needs aid.  He has a passion to teach every student and prepare them for their future, no matter the path they desire.   He believes when children feel they have a successful life path they become determined and self motivated. Often they just need someone to direct their path, and he loves helping in this capacity.  During his free time he enjoys spending time with his family, cooking, Cross fit, F3, home projects, getting his AirBnB ready for guests, exploring nature, and helping others.
