All About Me

I was born in Michigan and moved down here when I was the same age as most of my current students. I grew up in a small town called Camden in South Carolina

 I have served in the U.S. Navy, Richland Co. E.M.S. , and in various positions within Wal~Mart for far too many years.

 I am a graduate of USC Upstate where I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelors in Elementary Education in 2017. 

 This will be my 7th year teaching, but my second teaching 5th grade at Grove. 

 I am happily married to a really good woman. I have 3 kids that are living lives as grown-ups and two rotten grandchildren whose grandmother has taught to call me "Big Meanie". We have a house that is ruled by furry over-seers (see picture), The cats would be ok but my wife spoils them all.

 I love to read and explore our nations National Parks. If you ever got to one, ask about the junior ranger program, no matter how old you are.
