About Me

I am an upstate SC native, with 19 years teaching experience. I married my high school sweetheart and we have 2 children. I enjoy most all sports, playing golf and tennis. I enjoy traveling and camping with my family.

I like teaching at Langston because of the emphasis on leadership and personal responsibility. As a parent, those characteristics were exactly what we wanted for our children. As a teacher, to see the growth of our students as they learn and experience daily how their choices impact the opportunities that come their way.
