Carpentry

I am your Construction teacher this year. 

I grew up in the big city of Auburntown Tennessee on a small farm (raising bacon and steak).

In 1983 I graduated from Cannon County High School. It was here in these very halls where I met the love of my life. We have since been blessed with two children and two grandchildren.

I worked from  1984 until 2020 manufacturing automotive seating. During that time I worked the assembly line, programmed robots to perform both welding and water jet cutting task. My last 30 years there was spent supervising production activities.

I am the senior pastor of Sunny Slope Baptist church in down town metropolitan Woodbury since 2013.

I retired from my manufacturing position August 8th of 2020 to come to CCHS  and teach because I love the opportunity to work with our communities youth with the prospect of making a difference for their future.
