Meet the Teacher

I attended Appalachian State University from 2014-2017 and earned my bachelor’s degree in Applied & Public History. I am currently finishing my residency program through ECU to complete my teaching licensure. This will be my 7th year of teaching, and my 5th at PCA after spending two years in Fayetteville. I am excited to begin the school year!

I am recently married as of April 11, 2025 to my lovely wife Hallie Putnam. We have a poodle-shih tzu mix named Polly and currently live in Clover, South Carolina.

I am a huge football and basketball fan, specifically Appalachian State, the Carolina Panthers and the Charlotte Hornets. Some of my hobbies include playing guitar, taking nature hikes, and disc golf.
