About Me:

I am thrilled to be in my 24th year of teaching, with the last 14 years spent at Grovetown Middle School. Prior to joining this wonderful community, I taught at Valdosta Middle School in Valdosta, Georgia. Over the years, I've had the pleasure of teaching and learning alongside so many incredible students and colleagues.

I have been married to my wonderful wife, Jennifer, for 30 years, and together we have two amazing children, Aysia and Ian, whom we adopted from China. Aysia is now 21, and Ian is 20. Our family has been a source of great joy and inspiration in my life.

In my classroom, I strive to create an engaging, enriching, and inspiring learning environment. I believe that education should be a journey that excites curiosity and fosters a love for lifelong learning. My goal is to invest in my students' growth by challenging them to think critically, explore new ideas, and discover their own potential. By providing a supportive and dynamic atmosphere, I hope to inspire each student to achieve their best and make a positive impact in our ever-changing world.
