Graduated from SIU-Carbondale in 1997 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Education and then earned my Education Administration degree from Eastern Illinois in 2005. Through my teaching career, I have taught grades 6-12 in the areas of business marketing, accounting, computers, PE, health, science, and math. Currently at TMS, I am teaching 7th grade math. In addition to teaching, I am an assistant coach for the TMS baseball team, 8th grade head basketball coach, and the assistant baseball coach at Triad High School. When I am away for school, I enjoy coaching my boys, watching sports, landscaping, and spending time with family and friends. I am married and have three boys who are currently attending school in the Triad School District.
