I was born and grew up in Ohio. I was stationed in Texas while in the USAF and have lived in Texas most of my life.  I married my high school sweetheart, and we have 3 children and 10 grandchildren. I graduated from Midwestern State University with a degree in Business Administration.  This is my second year teaching and coaching. I am teaching World History and coaching Football and Girls Soccer.  I worked for Wrigley Gum and Ferrero Candy for 30 years.  I have always wanted to teach and coach, and now I am living my dream.  I was a college basketball referee for 12 years. I am having a blast teaching here at Jasper and everyone has been very friendly.
