Hello everyone. Currently, I am a fourth year doctoral student in the Evaluation, Statistics, and Measurement program at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I have a BS in Mathematics from Tennessee Wesleyan College and MM in Mathematics from the University of Tennessee. My research interests include mathematics education, statistics education, educational assessment and measurement, and program evaluation.
Outside of education, I am married to Teresa Kirkland and have three kids: Jacob (10), Karli (8), and Emma (3). I love to spend time with my family and just hang out.
