About Me
I was born and raised in Orlando, Florida where I grew up an avid sports fan. Throughout my childhood I played multiple sports including basketball, baseball, soccer, and golf. I Graduated from Edgewater High School in Orlando and then attended the University of Florida where I earned my Bachelors Degree in Business Administration with a minor in Sports Management.
After college I returned to Orlando and began a career teaching and coaching basketball at Edgewater High School. During my years as head coach I was able to lead the team to a couple regional championships and had multiple players move on to the collegiate and professional level. I enjoy business and teaching students on ways to become successful in the business world. I'm excited to be teaching Entrepreneurship Honors and hope to inspire students to strive to become young entrepreneurs.
I have an amazing family that includes my wife, Lauren, and our two kids, Grayson and Kendall. I enjoy family activities, traveling, attending sporting events, concerts, fishing, and golfing. After so many years in Florida, we are happy to call the Greenville area home.
