About Me

My Life - Short Story

I am from Zebulon, North Carolina, home of the Carolina Mudcats. I attended Cardinal Gibbons High School in Raleigh. From there I went to the UNC-Greensboro to major in Business Administration. Realizing that this wasn't my passion, I left half way through my sophomore year and moved to Charlotte. I started working in the car business as a sales representative. After living in the Charlotte area for a couple years, I relocated to Wilmington to be with my now wife. I first worked in the security industry, creating security solutions for residential and commercial buildings, but eventually found my way back to a dealership. After reading an article at work that talked about the demographics of teachers in the classroom, I was inspired to become an educator..

My Family 

I have been married to my intelligent, beautiful and loving wife, Tamara for 15 years. Together we have to 3 beautiful children, Olivia (13), Richard IV (10), and our youngest, Mason (7).

My Hobbies

I am a huge sports fans and follow the 3 major sports quite closely, at the professional and collegiate levels. I enjoy participating in fantasy sports, so the excitement is building for the upcoming football season (Go Panthers!). I have fallen in love with the saltwater every since I moved to Wilmington. I try to go to the beach to fish or hang out as much as possible. Majority of my time is spent with my family. Watching my three little ones sprout up before my eyes and trying to cherish every moment spent with them.
