Students are my number one priority. I want each student in my class to develop the skills and character qualities necessary to succeed in life. I have been teaching since 2014. Before that I worked with several non-profit organizations including a camp and a children's mental health organization. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Kuyper College in my hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan and I have my Master of Arts degree in Education from Mississippi State University. I am currently working on a PhD in Secondary ELA Education at Auburn University. My wife, Madison, and I have four children who are in schools in Prattville. My oldest daughter is currently a student at PJHS. I am excited to be here and I know it is going to be a great school year. Go Cats!
