My educational background started locally where I grew up at Daytona Beach Community College. I graduated Spruce Creek High School in 1982 ant then received my AA for DBCC in 1984.

My next college adventure lead me to East Tennessee State University. I graduated in 1988 with a BS in science education. I was license to teach 6-8 and 9-12 science. After graduating I was hired to teach science at Andrews High School.

It was 1993 when I started my MaED from Western Carolina. I took one of the first online classes and did most all of my course work after school and in the my summers. In 1996 I graduated with my Masters.

In 2011 I was encourage to seek my EDS in Leadership and Supervision for a principal licenser. I finished this mostly online with a few courses face to face for the licenser in 2012 with Liberty University.
