I was born and raised in Laurinburg, North Carolina, a small town about two hours south of Raleigh. This will be my third year teaching 7th grade science at Carroll and I am so honored to be here. I am a proud graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where I received my B.A. in Middle Grades Math and Science Education, Biology. My interests include: travel, hiking, tennis, Netflix, coffee, ice cream, Carolina basketball and of course, all things science. I am particularly fascinated by the life sciences, genetics, sustainability, and the solar system.

I moved to North Carolina from Washington (state) when I was entering the sixth grade, so yes, I am a Seahawks/Mariners/Sounders fan--but I also love my Tar Heels! I went through the Teaching Fellows program at UNC-Chapel Hill, while earning a B.A. in English and a B.A. in Political Science, before heading to Wake Forest University, where I received my M.A. in Education. This will be my 2nd year at Carroll and my eleventh year of teaching. When I'm not teaching, I love to spend time reading, traveling, hiking, and running.

I was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri (GO CHIEFS). I graduated high school in 2009 and went to Virginia State University where I received a Bachelors of Science degree in Mathematics. I later continued my education at Liberty University where I received my Masters in Teaching Secondary education.
My family consists of my amazing wife Unique Samuels and our two wonderful children: Joseph and Ava Samuels. My hobbies include: watching sports, playing baseball, playing football, and playing the drums. I love having the opportunity to share my love of math with my students. I have a very strong passion for educating our youth and I receive great enjoyment out of doing so.
This will be my 6th year teaching and my second year at Carroll Middle school. I am so honored to be here and I look forward to working with each amazing student on Team Innovate!

I was born in Whitman, MA, a small town outside of Boston. I graduated from Stonehill College in 2003. This school year will mark my 2nd year at CMMS, the 14th year that I have been teaching in Wake County and, overall, I have been teaching for 17 years. My wife and I have been married for 14 years and we have 2 sons, the oldest is 6 and a first grader at Jeffreys Grove and our youngest is 3. We also have 2 dogs, Fenway and Parker.
I love various eras of history but my main passion is for modern world history, with the Enlightenment and the American, French and Latin American revolutions being my most favorite historical events.
In my spare time I like to run, read and collect comic books, listen to music, comedy and podcasts and watch Red Sox baseball and Patriots football.
