-During and after Clemson I grew as a teacher and coach at Berea High School. Over the course of 6 years I was able to navigate ways to be the best teacher/coach I can possibly be before making the move home. This is now my 8th year back at the Ridge teaching and coaching and there is nowhere I would rather be!

I was born and raised in Blue Ridge where my family still resides today. My childhood was not filled with an overabundance of money, but I was raised in a home that placed family as a top priority. My mother and father knew what they were doing as they taught my brother and I numerous life lessons. My father passed away May 5, 2011 but somehow continued to teach me while he struggled. Many ask why I chose to be a teacher when I could have been successful in other more profitable professions. I guess I am simply a blessed man that wants to be a blessing to others...or just not smart. Either way, I plan to make the most of my life and hope to teach my students to do the same. Oh yeah, I married by beautiful wife Angela Abercrombie in 2013 and she is my inspiration each and every day.  Other motivational pieces of my life are Annslea Grace and now Aceson James, my son and daughter.
