It has been my pleasure to teach Criminal Justice at Bridging Communities since the school opened in 2012. The criminal justice field has been my lifelong interest. I am the son and brother of law enforcement officers, and I even had my own opportunity to live my dream! Personally, I hope to have a positive impact on the next generation of criminal justice professionals.

Personal Life
Aside from teaching at Bridging Communities, I enjoy spending time with my family. In June 2006 I was lucky enough to marry my wife, Melissa. Melissa and I have made our home in Lakeside, Virginia.
In December 2011, Melissa and I welcomed our firstborn child, Keagan. His name means "of the fiery one," and boy does he keep us on our toes! Our second son, Caffrey, was born in May 2015. He looks like a calm child, but don't let him con you!
We also have two hound dogs that add to the excitement, John and Rudy.
