Pronouns: he/him

Education: Berry College & Reading University (UK), Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Religion; Emory University, Master of Divinity; University of Memphis, Master of Arts in Teaching; 11 years of learning with and from students while working as a classroom teacher.

How I Got Into Education: I am a third generation Math teacher, but teaching is my second career. Inspired by the work of James Lawson, I spent 14 years doing community development and conflict resolution work in The United Methodist Church. I became a teacher because I believe every kid deserves an extra adult who believes in them and has their back. My favorite days as a teacher are the ones when we take on challenging tasks and concepts, collaborate together, and succeed in learning new things.

Hobbies: Spending time with my wife and kids, cooking, riding one of my bicycles, reading, listening to Podcasts, hiking, traveling, playing songs on the guitar, and eating… I really love to eat!
