This is my third year teaching at Fountain Inn High School on the Career & Technology Education (CTE) Team.  Loretta, my wife of 28 years and I moved back to the Greenville area in 2023 (where she grew up and where we originally met in 1993).  My career moved us from Greenville to Georgia (1995-2011) and then Virginia (2011-2023).  We have two adult children, Jay & Ryan.

I am a retired Manufacturing Operations Executive with over 30 years of industry experience.  Most of those years, I spent with Collins Aerospace, now a division of Raytheon Technologies (RTX).  I supported over 20 sites across the US, UK and Australia.  I was responsible for an organization of over 1200 employees who produced over $1.2B of Aerospace & Defense equipment ranging from flight simulators, to ejection seats & energetics, to strategic command & control systems, as well as brazed aluminum aircraft equipment, radar cooling chassis, machined parts and cable assemblies.

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Engineering from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (BSIE) and a Master in Business Administration (MBA) from The Darden School of Business at The University of Virginia.
