This is my 29th year teaching, with 26 of those at Model. My wife, Holly, is a Model alumna and teaches at Model Middle and is in her 31st year teaching 5th grade. Our son, Sam, graduated from Model and more recently from The University of Georgia--GO DAWGS!! He was an International Affairs major and is now a 2025 graduate of the University of South Carolina School of Law. He has been accepted into the US Air Force JAG Corps, so he will be a lawyer in the USAF later this year! Our daughter, Belle, also graduated from Model. She is a 2025 graduate of Berry College and was an Early Childhood Education major--GO VIKINGS!! She will be teaching third grade math at West Central Elementary in Rome--following in her parents' footsteps!
When I'm not at school teaching or coaching volleyball or tennis, I enjoy spending time with my family. I also enjoy playing pickleball, tennis, golf, and disc golf. I like spending time outdoors kayaking, swimming, biking, and have recently gotten back into sailing! I sail a Hobie 16 catamaran and a Hunter 240 monohull. These are two very different sailboats, but both are a lot of fun! My favorite vacation spot is any beach, my favorite food is seafood, and my favorite non-sport hobby is photography.
