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.
