ABOUT ME

I have taught Family and Consumer Sciences for the past 20 years, four of those years were at Shirley High School in North-Central Arkansas and the remaining 16 years have been here at Valley View.

I graduated from Harrisburg High School. I attended college at the University of Central Arkansas where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Education degree in Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS). A year later, I went back to earn a Master of Science degree in Family and Consumer Sciences. In 2015, I obtained my goal of becoming a National Board Certified Teacher.

I am currently married to my best friend, Pat. We have three wonderful boys together, Jacob, Caden, and Logan. My oldest Jacob is married and has given me a wonderful daughter-in-law, Darby. When I have spare time, I enjoy reading, photography and traveling. I love spending time with my family and we love camping and visiting state parks.
