Carpentry

I graduated from Andrew Jackson High School in 1977 and attended USC-L for one year before transferring to Durham Technical College where I received an Associates of Science in Opticianry. I was the first licensed optician in Lancaster opening Glasses Plus in 1980. I graduated from Liberty University with a BS in Christian Ministry in 2018. I have been married to my wonderful wife Pam for over thirty years and have two daughters, two grandsons and a granddaughter. 

I have always loved hands-on work, and in 1983 formed a hobby business building floating boat docks, boat lifts, decks, seawalls and retaining walls. Over the years that became my main business and in 1999 I sold Glasses Plus, making the dock business my primary business. I have had the privilege of training numerous young men and women in dock and deck building, as well as other forms of construction including custom cabinetry and roofing. I enjoy sharing knowledge with young people at every opportunity.

In addition to teaching, in 2020 I became the Head Coach for a NICA middle school and high school mountain bike team for the district. This is currently a club team with a Fall race schedule. The Catawba Valley Riders team is open to all middle and high school students in the LCSD schools.
