Agricultural Education has been a part of my life from the day I was born. My father was my Agricultural Education teacher and FFA advisor throughout middle and high school. After completing high school, I attended Alabama A&M University, where I completed my Bachelor's of Science degree in Agriscience Education. In 2005, I began my career by opening the Agriscience Education program for the Florence Freshman Center and Florence Middle School. Shortly after my teaching career began, I obtained a Master’s of Science and Educational Specialist Degree in Agriscience Education from Auburn University. I am now starting my 17th year of teaching Agricultural Education at Florence High School and Florence Freshman Center and look forward to the continued growth and success of our program.
