About Me

I'm a graduate of Furman High School, which is located in Sumter, SC. I hold a Bachelor's of Science degree in Zoology and a minor in Chemistry. Upon my completion of college, I attended South Alabama College of Medicine in pursuit of a Medical degree. I studied there for a little over 2 years before taking a leave of absence because of personal reasons. It was at this time that I took a job with Adult Education in Sumter, SC. While there, I really felt a need to help those with educational shortfalls. During this time, I also began coaching football and basketball on the middle school level. After a short stint with  Sumter County Adult Education, I was offered an opportunity to teach and coach at another middle school right outside of Boston, MA. I stayed one year before being led back down South where another teaching/coaching opportunity became available at Lakewood High. There, I taught Science and coached, both on, the J.V. and Varsity levels for football and boy's/girl's basketball. I stayed there until I was offered a wonderful opportunity to take my growth to Woodmont High and coach/teach. I've taught at Woodmont High for twenty years, while coaching football, basketball, and track, during various years. I'll continue to teach Science courses, Freshman Success, and coach track and field this school year.
