I have lived in the Shoals area my entire life. I have been married 20 years to my lovely wife Lameka. We have two outstanding children. I began teaching in 2019 as a 2nd grade teacher.  This will be my first year as a 4th grade teacher.  I have a Bachelors Degree in Recreation Administration (Minor in Business Management) from the University of North Alabama. I also completed my Masters in Elementary Education from Grand Canyon University in 2009. I am blessed to have the opportunity to work for an excellent school system (Florence City Schools).
