About Me

I am a highly qualified teacher with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education from Coastal Carolina University and a Masters Degree in Physical Education from Emporia State University. I also have my National Board certification in Early Childhood Physical Education and I am in my twenty-second year of teaching physical education in Greenville County and at Westcliffe. 

As you can probably tell from my picture I am also a huge Packers fan. My wife teaches English classes at Easley High school and I have three wonderful children. My daughter is seventeen and my two sons are fifteen and twelve years old. 

My schedule takes me to two different elementary schools throughout the week. On Mondays and Tuesdays I travel to Lake Forest Elementary school as part of their second related arts team. On Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays I am home based at Westcliffe Elementary School. 

My philosophy includes the belief that every student can enrich their lives through movement and exercise. I believe that each student has the ability to learn and try new activities daily. By making exercise fun and promoting competence in skill movements, each student will be more likely to become involved in physical activities and remain healthy throughout their life. 

In addition to teaching physical education I am also Westcliffe's School Safety Patrol Leader and serve on the Westcliffe PTA board.
