About me

I am a native of the Pacific Northwest, growing up in Oregon, and completing my undergraduate work at the University of Idaho.  I joined the US Marine Corps in 2000 and was introduced to the Carolinas as a duty station of choice!  After 8 years of seeing the world, I settled down with my wife Melanie, and attended the University of Tennessee to pursue my Master's degree in Mathematics Education.    We moved to the Greenville area in 2012 and have grown our family to include our four kiddos: D'Arcy (10), Judson (7), Ella (4), and Addison (2).  We enjoy spending time outside doing a variety of things- and we love to explore the great state of South Carolina.
