After graduating from High School in Ohio, and earning the college fund in the US Army, I earned a Bachelors of Science degree from Cameron University.  My dream has always been to teach high school and coach football, but achieving this took the long route. After graduating from college, I owned a Farmers Insurance Agency, worked as a service manager at a John Deere Dealership and was a sales representative for a construction company. I finally began teaching in 1999 and have loved every minute of my teaching experience.

        I began teaching and coaching at Anadarko High School where I taught computer class and went on to run the marketing program. I then moved to MacArthur High School in Lawton where I taught Web Design and was an assistant football coach for 6 years. 2012 was my first year here at Elgin where I have lived and my two daughters have attended school. I teach Technical Education/Intro to Engineering and Robotics, as well as coach and mentor the Elgin Owl Robotics Team (Robo Hooters).
