He is currently a Regional Coordinator for the Office of Mathematics Improvement for the Alabama Department of education.  He has served as the K-5 District math for Montgomery Public Schools, K-5 AMSTI Specialist for region 8, and as a 4th and 5th grade math teacher at E.D. Nixon Elementary school. Mr. Coty was named teacher of the year in 2017 by Mathnasium of Montgomery and teacher of the year at E.D.
