Paris High School

My high school alma mater is Itawamba Agricultural High School in Fulton, Mississippi. I attended Itawamba Community College, which is also located in Fulton, for two years before obtaining my bachelor's degree at Mississippi State University (GO BULLDOGS!).

I completed the alternative certification program at Texas A&M University-Commerce after spending almost six years as a sports reporter/editor at The Paris News.

I have a bachelor's degree from Mississippi State University.

I am certified to teach English/language arts and reading for grades 7-12.

I complete many hours of professional development each year, primarily in areas pertaining to writing, Future Problem Solving, and techniques of teaching Gifted and Talented students.

I am married, and we have a 5-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son.

As you can tell from my previous occupation, I love sports! I like a lot of different sports, such as professional and college football, baseball, basketball, and soccer.
