I grew up in a small town out in West Texas called Grandfalls.  I graduated high school in 1995 and began attending Texas Tech University.  I graduated from Texas Tech in 1999 with a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and with a double minor in History and Communication Studies.  I began my teaching career in Midland, Texas teaching history at Goddard Jr. High.  I moved to El Paso, Texas in 2004 to teach and coach at the high school level in Fabens, Texas.  I was hired by Plano ISD in 2011, and began at Bowman Middle School.  After my first year in the district, I transferred over to Shepton High School in 2012.  I have been here at Shepton teaching Professional Communications and coaching football and basketball.
