About

Welcome to Fisher Middle School!  

I'm extremely excited to be working with you this year in such an incredibly innovative environment for learning. This will be my eighteenth year teaching and my seventh year at Fisher Middle School. I have taught math and PLTW engineering previously at Wade Hampton, Mauldin HS, NEXT HS, and JL Mann HS in the New Tech program. I'm a certified PLTW teacher in Design & Modeling, Green Architecture, Automation & Robotics, Intro to Engineering, Principles of Engineering, and Aerospace Engineering.  I also teach as a math adjunct at Greenville Technical College. In the summertime,  I facilitate a 3D Make and Design camp and VEX Robotics camp at Roper Mountain. I also co facilitate a 3D Print Camp for teachers learning to integrate prototyping in their curriculum.  I love to teach and serve our community. 

In 2020-2021, I was  awarded the Teacher of the Year for Fisher Middle School and was a top 10 Teacher of the Year Finalists for the Greenville County School District. I was also awarded the STEM Educator of Year Finalist award for the state of South Carolina. 

I graduated from USC Upstate with a B.S. in Secondary Education Mathematics and received my masters (M.A.) in Technology in Education from Lesley University. I also have been a member of the Greenville County Council of Teachers of Mathematics (GCCTM) since 2005.  Currently I am the past president of the GCCTM organization. 

Also, I've been apart of the Inquiry in Motion program for Improving the motivation, potential, and achievement of students and teachers through sustained engagement in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math(STEAM). My core philosophy in education revolves around inquiry and incorporating STEAM connections. 

I love traveling, reading, going the the beach, biking, hiking, swimming, running, photography, technology, and finding new educational tools.  I have a beautiful wife who is a nurse practitioner. Together we have 3 wonderful daughters ages 9, 12, and 13. Two of them will also be here at Fisher Middle School this year. We also have a loving Golden Doodle puppy named Chase. 

My goal is to inspire our youth and empower them with the knowledge and thinking skills to IMPACT not only their community but also future generations. I have the goal to teach and connect STEM subjects to the world students live in. I believe using a PBL approach will prepare and enable students with the thinking processes to become well equipped for college, career, and civic life. This is a model I believe in, and the PBL research shows that it works. 

I'm looking forward to making a difference in the lives of all my students. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.  

Be well and go Firebirds!
