After graduating from Olivet High in 1993 and Olivet College in 1997, I taught at Charlotte High from 1997 until 2005 before landing back to work at Olivet since then.  Throughout my 29 years of teaching, I've coached many sports at many levels while raising my own four children (Alley 27, Kailey 26, Joey 23, Riley 21)  with my wife (Lorraine) of 31 years.  Alley and her husband Bailey have blessed us with three grandsons (Brantley 4, Brayson, 2, and Beckham almost 1).  Kailey and her husband Ryan have recently blessed us with our first granddaughter (Lennon Jo) in February of 2026. We have lived in the district our entire lives and couldn't be any more excited about being a contributing part of Eagle Nation.
