ABOUT ME:

 A little about me: this is my 33rd year of teaching, and my fifth year at GTCHS (following 22 years at Hillcrest and Mauldin).  I grew up in Greenville and attended Berea High School. After that, I went on to Furman University, where I received a B.A. in history and an M.A. in Social Studies.  

My wife of 31 years, Pam, is a retired guidance counselor.  We have two sons - Conner (30), a captain in the U.S. Air Force and stationed in Washington DC., and Adam (27), a salesman.

I love sports (especially Premier League soccer), traveling with family and friends, and being outdoors.  I love the farm to table food my son, Adam, got us hooked on but it never hurts to occasionally bring me Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

I love teaching social studies and working with our students. (You will all love my awesome jokes - all my past students did!) We have a great school, staff, group of students, and parents.
