About Me

I love to travel and spend time with my wife, Courtney, who works at 4-H International where she coordinates the student exchange program. We've been to 19 countries each, except I have China and she doesn't and she has Ireland and I don't.. Here we are in Lisbon, Portugal with our very bad seats at the Taylor Swift concert there in Spring 2024. 

-----below this line is what I share with my students---------

Who is Mr. Brock and why is he so weird?

I was born in Whitesburg, Kentucky in the go-go 80s. I attended Whitesburg High School and Berea College. During my student-teaching, I taught at Berea Community High School, Berea Community Middle School and at Leestown Middle School.

At Berea College*, I majored in Social Studies Education. Surprising, right? After college I moved back to the mountains and started teaching at Pikeville High School. 

I married this lady named Courtney in Pikeville and then moved west to teach at Rockcastle County High School. 

I taught at Rockcastle County for 12 years and just moved to Martin Luther King Jr. Academy for Excellence in Lexington. I have also served as a professor at Berea College in the Education Studies Department since 2020. 

I've sponsored a lot of extracurricular and cocurricular activities to try to make school a little more fun. Among those activities are Academic Team, Educators Rising, 4-H, Student Government, and KYA. 

In my free time, I play guitar (poorly), play video games (poorly), play basketball (poorly) and swim (well, actually I float) among other things. I'm really into computers and tech, indigenous cultures, and lots of other nerdy teacher stuff. 

*Berea College offers all students a 100% tuition paid scholarship. If that sounds like something you'd like to hear more about, holler at your boy.
